While there are various scuba diving entry techniques, the right one for you to perform will depend on your situation. Are you shore diving? If so, the wading entry method is right for you. You’d have to use a different water entry method, however, if you’re diving from a boat or a pier. Read on to learn more about the four most popular water entry methods for scuba divers. Giant Stride Water Entry
The giant stride is the most common water entry method for scuba divers entering from a boat, pier, jetty, or any other elevated entry point. To execute this entry method, you must don all of your scuba gear, step onto the platform, and put your regulator in your mouth. Next, hold your mask and regulator in place with your palm, lift one leg out in front of you, and jump into the water. Once you surface, give the OK signal to your fellow divers or boat captain, fully inflate your BCD, and wait for all the other divers to enter the water before you descend.
