Scuba off a jet ski

I do a bit of diving from my ski just wondering if anyone else has used there ski as a dive platform?

Not yet... but a few of us have been talking about it!! Would be interested in learning more!

If you have a look at my photo you can see my dive gear straped to the back of my ski.I take someone to man the ski when i am diving. I found the hardest part because the ski is not at anchor the person on the ski would find it hard to stay in the same place. So with me swimming and them drifting we got a long way apart. The way that i fixed that was to get a dive float and tow it with me and they just follow that. It can be a bit hard to get your gear on in choppy seas so pick your days. I found if you getting kicked around on the top just get you gear on and go down sort the rest out on the bottom. soo much ezeyer

Scuba Diving is a bit Dangerous over here Look what happen to poor old " Crikey
"

HI guys just discovered the forum top stuff. Anyway Myself and a few freinds do a fair bit of scuba and free diving off our ski's .Most of our diving is done on the ocean back beaches along the Victorian coast (Im from Aus) I will try and dig up some pics of the racks I have made that carry twin tanks and also large boxs when we are freediving that carry all our camera gear. I try and do a bit of fishing from the ski but not much of a fisherperson .

I tried to post pics of our set ups but can not seem to work it out (dumb aussie) I think I worked out how to put them in my personal gallery feel free to have a look.

Here are the pics I promised. The basket was too light made from ali new one is made from all stainless steel with a higher bar close to the seat that hold 2 rod holders and then cooler box gets tied down and can also hold 2 20ltr jerry cans if needed.
