Hi all! Back from my travels...
So, the last time I did a giant stride into the ocean, my tank hit the side of the boat, hard. Fortunately it didn't hit me, and the tank stayed in the bands, so I was able to continue my dive after a quick check to make sure everything was OK. It was scary, though. It was an AL100, so it was awfully long, and I'm only 5' 6". There were also swells (maybe 2-4 feet), and I have a feeling I probably timed the step poorly. What are the tricks to getting far enough from the boat with the giant stride?
