Definition: Once a diver has competed the flight of the dive, the entry is the diving technique of entering the water with as little splash as possible. Using proper technique, the body should always be near vertical in a straight position with toes pointed. In a head-first entry the arms should be stretched above the head and in-line with the body, and the hands clasped together forming a flat hand.
Also Known As: Rip Entry
