This would be a first that I have heard of anyone doing it, if you have some ideas on what you are planning I would like to hear about them.

Oh it can be done!
I have dove out of my XR16 Sea Rayder but it was complicated with two over 250 lb guys. There is no ryme or reason to the set up, get things ready to put on before you leave the dock so all you have to do is put your tank, weight belt, perfeably a shot filled one as lead makes scratches, fins, mask and snorkle and you are in.
Getting back in the boat is another thing.
You need to disrobe your tank in the water, remember to inflate your BC, this is very important:Ha! and have a float line on the back of the boat you can snap it to.
becareful of loosing you weight belt too.
Yes it is very complicated but very rewardable if you find treasure.
PS don't try and set your sport boat up for diving, it is a waste of a good boat for the few times you will use it for that purpose. Use it for diving then clean it out for pleasure. It can be used for both.

So on a challenger, are you saying it's impossible to do? Or just not worth the trouble? My husband was suggesting custom-designing a way so it's easier to get back on the boat.
