"How do you do a Man-Overboard recovery with the dink on the swim platform?"
Both my wife and I still dive actively (I am 62), and can still exit the
water into the Livingston (no attached ladder) whilst it is still hinged to
the swim platform.
The dink whilst attached, but in the water could well be easier to recover
a MOB due to the hinging action keeping the outboard side of the dink lower
to the water as opposed to the swim platform charging up and down. I have
never had to recover a MOB in any actual situation, but have many times made
exits up ladders attached to plunging swim platforms. This is quite a matter
of proper timing. It has actually been easier to exit into the dink trailing
behind the boat when waves have built up during a dive, than to climb the
ladder.
