#1 Choice for Fishing + Diving = X-FACTOR.

#2 Choice # # # = Extreme.

Can't beat the 675 lb weight capacity on the X. Couple that with a dry, stable ride - and you've got a very comfortable platform for both sports.

GO to Fred Hall - OEX will be dealing on their product line.

FYI - I am 6'0" - 210 lbs and I have owned and/or paddled most brands / hulls out there

It's all a personal preference - kinda like women - but I have been happiest with the Malibu line and am stoked on the combination of speed, stability, storage and dry ride of the Extreme. But I strictly fish. For dive tanks/gear - I would heavily consider the extra tank well storage and weight capacity of the X-Factor. I paddled this hull for over a year and was real happy with the performance - just wanted a faster set up.
