[Choose #2] Easier on my ears
|
|
|
[Choose #3] I have had back surgery, so this is best for me.
|
|
|
[Choose #2] Stride..... only because the boat I use doesn’t have dive friendly gunales
|
|
|
[Choose #1] Depends on the distance. They all have applications. Rubber boat - back roll or gear up in the water (esp. with camera gear). Dive boat over 3 ft - Giant stride, maybe gear up in water. over 6 ft giant stride. And a lot of times I just flop in
|
|
|
[Choose #1] The backroll is easier for me with all the weight.
|
|
|
[Choose #1] Most definitely backroll!
|
|
|
[Choose #1] I just think its more fun
|
|
|
[Choose #5] I’m indifferent. Been on boats where both had to be used. I’ll do whatever I need to get in the water.

[Choose #5] Not really fussed either way, although to get to the bottom faster i like to do a back roll.
|
|
|
[Choose #2] Back roll can be painful.
|
|
|
[Choose #2] It is how I was taught, anything else seems weird
|
|
|
[Choose #2] Giant stride. Never tried anything else.
|
|
|
[Choose #2] it’s the way i was trained and i’ve never tried any other way
|
|
|
[Choose #1] I like the back roll it gives a little more control and you can push away from the boat easier.
|
|
|
[Choose #1] easier with the motion of the boat, also with bad knees it’as easier
|
|
|
[Choose #5] with my bad back, I sit on the side of the dock, have someone help me into my dive gear, and gently roll into the water.
|
|
|
[Choose #2] Like to see where I’m going
|
|
|
[Choose #1] I prefer the back roll if diving in conditions where the surface is a bit rough and you dont want to hang around on the surface too long. Otherwise I like the giant stride.
|
|
|
[Choose #2] Most experience with giant stride...very comfortable with it
|
|
|
[Choose #2] Giant Stride all the way !!!!!
|
|
|
[Choose #2] I just prefer the Giant Stride
|
|
|
[Choose #5] i use the easier option
|
|
|
[Choose #1] To me it helps to keep mask in tact
|
|
|
[Choose #5] I prefer just to just roll off onto my entire left side.. This keeps the air inside my drysuit...
|
|
|
[Choose #2] I think it’s safer
|
|
|
[Choose #2] Easier to stay upright
|
|
|
[Choose #1] Side Roll - less likely to bang head/tanks/regs/etc.
|
|
|
[Choose #1] cuz thats the way i like it!!! smoother entry to me
|

[Choose #5] Just depends on the boat.
|
|
|
[Choose #1] On my boat you can only do a back roll
|
|
|
[Choose #1] Diving from a Rib (back or side roll) hard boat, giant stride
|
|
|
[Choose #2] Never done the back roll
|
|
|
[Choose #5] it depends on the boat and the diving conditions
|
|
|
[Choose #2] To many accidents with back roll
|
|
|
[Choose #5] Judgment based on surface condition.
|
|
|
[Choose #4] I would want to do a giant stride before a back roll
|
|
|
[Choose #2] Back roll is disorienting to me. I hate hitting the water and wondering which way is up.
|
|
|
[Choose #2] I prefer the giant stride, I’m just more comfortable with it over the back roll, have done both.
|
|
|
[Choose #2] Back roll can leave me a little dizzy
|
|
|
[Choose #5] I’ll do whichever is easiest. If I have to shuffle down to the other end of the boat for a g.s., I’d rather just backroll in from where I’m sitting
|
|
|
[Choose #2] Whatever the conditions require!
|
|
|
[Choose #5] Depends upon boat configuration and how rough the seas are...
|
|
|
[Choose #5] There is no correct answer here. A back roll or giant stride are both OK depending on the boat configuration.
|
|
|
[Choose #2] It really depends on the boat, some are too high for a back roll and some you want to get away from so off the stern is safer.
|
|
|
[Choose #2] I can see what I’m jumping into with a giant stride :)
