Sometimes the customer is always right.
The gate was cut to fit the gap between two ribs and for many years was quite ample for the job. Divers were quite happy to jump out without getting anything caught and all was happy days.
As time has gone on, either I have started to attract more divers of a technical ilk or divers as a whole are wearing more kit, because people no longer fit through the gate. Twins will go through ok. Twins and a stage with a squeeze. But two stages and short legs.. not a hope.
Up till now I just laughed at them struggling and called them christmas trees but at the end of the day they have a point.
And they are customers.
So I have cut another bit off my boat.
The gate is now wider.
One of these days someone with twin scooters and a quadset is going to get stuck, moan and then the whole cycle will start again.
