[Choose #1] Depends on the boat. Smaller boats I do a back roll.

[Choose #2] But this changes with the size and type of boat

[Choose #1] I haven’t gone from boats; might depend on distance to water. (I’d fear hitting my head.)

[Choose #1] depends on the boat, and usually there is no choice it’s one or the other

[Choose #1] Unless theres no swim plat, I back roll from my Zodiac.

[Choose #1] It really depends upon the boat but Giant Stride works for me.

[Choose #1] And I’m always taken back when I find that I can’t walk on the water :-)

[Choose #1] depends on how high the boat is

[Choose #2] back roll is easier when seas are rough.

[Choose #1] Boats I’ve been on have tall sides, probably get full rotation on a backroll.

[Choose #1] Depends on the boat I’m diving from. Most of the SoCal dive charters use a giant stride.

[Choose #2] Only way on my boat
