Dive platform system

An aft-mounted dive platform system comprising:

• at least one hull portion rigidly affixed to a hull of a boat;
• and
• a dive platform coupled to the at least one hull portion and positioned, at least partially, behind at least one propeller drive system affixed to the stern of the boat;
• wherein the at least one hull portion includes:
• a first hull portion and a second hull portion;
• wherein the first hull portion includes:
• a first inner portion surface positioned proximate a first side of the at least one propeller drive system and a first outer portion surface positioned proximate a first outer surface of the hull of the boat;
• wherein the first outer portion surface of the first hull portion is recessed with respect to the first outer surface of the hull of the boat;
• wherein the second hull portion includes:
• a second inner portion surface positioned proximate a second side of the at least one propeller drive system and a second outer portion surface positioned proximate a second outer surface of the hull of the boat;
• wherein the second outer portion surface of the second hull portion is recessed with respect to the second outer surface of the hull of the boat;
• and
• wherein the dive platform is configured to be slidably attached to the at least one hull portion, thus allowing for essentially vertical displacement of the dive platform with respect to the at least one hull portion.
