We have a zodiac and it's great for everything you've mentioned. The also are not too expensive.

Just make sure you get a good engine to go with it, we tried to go cheap the first time and found out it was a big mistake in swiftwater.

If you want the specifics on what we have let me know and I'll get them to you.

We also went with a zodiac. Only complaint is we could've gone one size larger. Two people in scuba gear and one or two others starts to get a little tight. Otherwise the boat is pretty impressive.

E-mail me if you nee specifics...

good luck

Take a look at a rescue craft designed to go into low water dams - the FORTUNA. It's one of those designs that makes you say "why didn't I think of that." Zodiacs are great, but that is not what they are designed to do. This thing can keep your rescue team safe. Go to WWW.OCEANID.COM. (http://WWW.OCEANID.COM.) Be sure to order the video tape. It is amazing...
