Forget the sport scuba stuff.
As you have found: Heavy, expensive, where do you get a source
of 3000
psi air, cubersom in the water, too much to store on board a 38'
boat,
too much opportunity to get fouled in the water, and now the
colors on
the sports equipment are for sissies or girls. In my humble
opinion a
very dangerous method to put a diver at depth.

Try free diving.
Mask
Snorkel
Fins............. optional but very powerful

How far d'ya get Bob? I can just hack 10m, but I've had loads of
practice tying trips to anchors. If its a fiddly knot, its only
going to be 7m.
