Does anyone have a really truly brilliant system for getting into the
water and out of the water from their boat.

I'm particularly curious about canoe sterns etc but I'm interested in how
anyone manages to exit in particular.

Clip lines? Small davits?

Explanation of systems would be most illuminating also ie how do you go
about it - what sequence.

I've just come back from a night dive onto a new-to-the-dive-industry
charter boat which has a platform at the rear but he hasn't put a ladder
on. It was difficult in the dark to take everything off and hand it up
then (with fins still on) make a seal-like burst onto the back. Lucky it
was very calm tonight, with only a little surface chop and no swell.

It got me to thinking a bit about future exits when I get my boat.

For those who are interested, this was where I was tonight:

Wow... that would make me get back into diving. I've never been to the
Perth area, just eastern Aus (didn't have much time though).

NOT good sailing - nowhere to go really. Very ancient flat land.

Diving, however, is a different story altogether. There's a chappy from your
country who's crossed the Pacific in a Beneteau 45 currently advertising for
crew for a trip from Mooloolaba in Queensland to all the way around to my
place and he's surfing and diving all the way. I'm tempted to quit work and
join up.
