Are you looking new or old?

Humber have some good used ones on their website
Use a Humber 6.2m Ocean Pro.
Nice solid boat handles well.

If you going new and money is not to mush of an issue I would go Red Bay Boats.
Although not cheep some of the best I have played in.
They also have used on thier website, If i was in the market this would be my choice.

Not to keen on the Zodiac Pro range, very hard on the back in even slight sea states. Did the Rib International Round Ireland Challenge in a Zodiac, never again!!

Hope that helps for a start.

Best regards

Key questions are - how much do you want to spend, how many divers do you want to carry and to where? Do you want to tow it behind a car and how big a vehicle do you have?

As suggested rib.net is the place to ask the questions as there is a vast pool of knowledge on RIBS there. Link is <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.rib.net>http://www.rib.net</A>

Popular dive RIBS are Humbers, Tornado, Ribcraft etc.
