One of the challenges with a Rigid Inflatable Boat, is locating a good, tube-mounted dive ladder. I found this solution on a Fluid Watercraft RIB. It’s stainless steel, telescopic and removable.
Looks fairly functional.

Fluid’s Removable Slide-on Hypalon/CSM Tubes
Fluid Watercraft is one of the few manufactures who has removable / slide-on Hypalon/CSM tubes.
Replacing tubes can be done in as little as 3 hours. The tubes are attached through 17 mm 5086 extruded aluminum bolt rope.
Way to go, Fluid!
Fluid uses the famous GEMINI hulls.
Fluid 880 Hybride Patrol RIB
It’s a very ‘Fluid situation’ at Sirocco Annapolis. The Baltimore City Police Fluid 780 is in for some routine maintenance and a new Fluid 880 Hybrid Patrol Boat is getting some accessories before it goes to its new home in Maine.
Fluid uses the already proven GEMINI hulls.
