Why do divers jump backwards from boats when they enter the water? is it always done?

It will also depend on the boat or ship you’re diving from. I have entered the water facing mostly facing it and stepping off. The tanks are heavy and can damage the boat or ship. Smaller boats do not always have the space for you to step off into the water, hence the roll of backwards method. Larger ships i.e. research ships generally have more space to do a proper step off into the water.
