Conventional wisdom says that you can't scuba dive from a sail boat.
When we first started diving Neal was concerned about sea sickness so he wanted
a sail boat with a keel to keep it stable. We found that the key to diving
from sail boats is to lash a portable compressor to the deck and be sure you
have a good boarding ladder.
We have combined sailing and diving three times. Once on a "head boat" in Australia which has sense sunk! The other three times were on charters in Vanuatu, the British Virgins and the Windwards on our honeymoon.
