They only do this on small boats that don't have a a dedicated swim platform or entry ramp. It would be very difficult to jump over the edge of a small boat with all the weight of the equipment on a small boat, so they enter back first to just fall into the water.

do mean they dive in facing backwards? when divers enter they generally are in a a streamline position vertically. what do you mean exactly?

Because if they jump in front of them they will land in the same boat!

Because they are afraid of water. They have Agua-phobia.
