Seriously, it is a bit awkward to explain. Commercial divers usually dress on a rectangular wooden bench with no back and positioned so the tender can walk all around them. The procedure also works standing or with the diver sitting a recreational dive boat bench and having them rotate about 45°.
- Option 1 (most comfortable for most divers): Tender stands a little behind the diver on the side they are putting the glove on, and facing the same direction
- Diver bends their elbow and presses their upper arm/elbow against the tender's thigh, or gut if the diver is standing
- Diver's forearm is parallel to the deck with the thumb pointing up
This is the quickest photo that I could find on my website from this spring. Just got home from my fall vacation where we dove commercial and historic gear. We get lots of practice putting on gloves.
