an answer that makes sense

Question: Why do SCUBA divers always fall backward off the boat?

Answer: If they fell forward they would still be in the boat.

If they hit the water face forward their mask loses its air tight seal and can break their nose in choppy water.

Or maybe they risk getting the toes of their flippers caught on the boat?

If you embellished that answer with a dozen bigger words then talked about the time you were teaching a scuba class off the coast of Italy, you could be a Codie!

There are several ways to go from the boat into the water. We go backwards from the boat for example if heavy swell makes it difficult to stand upright equipped with a lot of diving stuff. We also go backwards from the boat if the water is not deep.
