The giant stride is a tried and true method for scuba divers entering from a large boat. This entry method is as straight forward as it gets — literally. After getting into your dive gear you simply take a large step, straight off the boat while holding your mask and regulator in place. After a moment of hang time you’re in the water and ready to explore.
