Anyone use their boat for diving/spearfishing

[kcinnick]

I have never went diving in this country, I have never been certified, but I have been in other countries where the rules ... well what rules.

If I am getting a boat, I would like to use it to dive once and a while, and spear fishing wouldn't be out of the realm of possibilities.

I am looking at 22' class bay boats right now, and was curious on your thoughts on that type of boat for diving as long as it had a sturdy dive ladder and proper safety gear on board. It would probably be used for two up, two down diving, mostly in Florida, but the occasional spear fishing trip in Louisiana wouldn't be out of the question.

Thoughts?
