Perhaps an odd question.
I was asked it last week by a new diver, and I had no real solid answer.
The question was "what, if any, is the recommended position for the feet when entering the water using a giant stride?"
All I could say was that it helps avoid a faceplant if your leading foot ( the one you "stride with") is is somewhat "toes up" during the stride, but regarding the trailing foot, or either foot the half second later when they hit the water?????
What is taught?? What is done???-or do most people justy "let it happen ???
Thanks,
Mike
