RIB recommendations

I want to purchase a RIB for diving from Northern California up through Washington. It would need to haul 2-3 divers. I want to be able to go offshore for albacore 5-6 times a year but would mostly be spearfishing the near shore. I prefer a smaller, more economical boat, as I will use it more. Also, it needs to be easy to tow with a standard 6 cylinder SUV. In my mind I feel this can be accomplished with, for example a 550-600 rigid inflatable Zodiac Pro. Any advice on materials, dealers, brands etc.

I know nothing about RIBS other than our coach always had them when we were racing sailboats offshore. At the time it seemed like a small Zodiac 550 would handle any conditions that mother nature threw at us.

If you have any advice it will be greatly appreciated.
