@simpsonfan2 because usually divers have breathing appatatus strapped to their back so it’s easier to fall back into the water Homer only managed it on his third try
In backwards so that you mask does not take the water impact, so your primary regulator does not slap you in the face, so your extra/budy requlator does not slap you in the whatever, the tanks are heavy you do not want them hitting you in the back. With all that gear standing in a boat is not wise. Yes and it is cool even if yo do go head over heels in the water.
afficionado: Also when there is considerable (over a meter) freeboard, the tanks absorb the impact better. Bellyflopping with all that weight coming down on you could be dangerous.
The backroll entry is best for small boats (particularly the rubber boats or Zodiacs). From docks, larger boats, or one with a landing stage, the giant stride entry is preferred. Just remember to keep that hand over your facemask! I won’t forget, after the one time I had it ripped off my face on entry.
Follow the adventures of 10-year-old Red, a boy who dreams of going to space and loves baseball, and his dog Rover, a loyal friend and chaser of squirrels.
Whether flying through space, bouncing on the moon, fishing, waiting for Popsicle Pete, or delivering the paper, these two friends do everything together.

There’s no room for Rover in that kiddie pool, much less for Red the frogman.

Why do divers always go in back first like that?

If they went forward they would still be in the boat.
