Default Diving from a double-ender?

Plan B suggestions:

Well, for starters this may sound obvious, but do not remove your fins
until you finished with everything else.

I've seen a few solutions while out cruising. A clever one was a small
floating platform that was lowered over the side or transom and attached
along side the boat. Diver climbed up onto it, removed gear onto boat,
then hauled it back up from davits. This same float arrangement was
used as a dingy dock for arriving guests. It was about 5' x 3' x 4",
made of Styrofoam blocks covered in fiberglass, with a padding area
running around the sides and cleats attached inboard of the edges.

Another was a dive ladder that had a davit above it. Diver attached his
BCD and weight belt, then flippers to it, climbed aboard, the hauled up
his gear.

Hope this helps.
