Aim
To safely enter the water using a controlled seated entry.
Reason to Learn
If you need to enter the water from an unstable platform or when the water isn't deep enough for a giant stride entry the controlled seated entry can be the safest method.
Step One
With all equipment in place sit on the edge of the platform with your legs over the edge. Make sure your mask is on and your regulator is in your mouth. Your BCD should be partially inflated (one-third to half full). Place your hands on the edge of the platform next to you.
