I have a 3 step armstrong ladder on my Parker, fits into the armstrong bracket.

Works great!! Made a little modification to the retaining ring but other than that, works fine.

I have an Armstrong ladder. The only thing I dont like about it is it is easily to leave on the transom. It will create alot of drag and bend the bracket. I have started putting a clothesline clip on the engine key to remind me to remove it.
Other than my forgetfulness, it is a great product.

I had one before my transom enclose. They work great, easy to install and they float. The big complaint I experienced was storage...

I put a windline on my contender.
It had an Armstrong but the plastic steps broke.

This was a great replacement and cost me less than replacing with an armstrong.

You are probably better off with something like this.
Platform Ladder

That's a good set up for most diving, although if doing tank diving, you might want a 3 step ladder, with platform mounted close to the waterline.

My swim platform, which is the one from Overton's listed above, is mounted with the top surface right at the waterline and I have the optional 3-step drop down ladder. I have no problem getting in and out with my scuba gear on, and I'm old and fat.
