What is the name given to the single saiing comp, in the little dingy?
it is not the only method used.You should always use a ladder if boat has one and especially in unfamiliar waters.yes, you can roll backwards but hold tank with one hand and tuck chin in so manifold doesnt hit head.
The step-in method is the most frequently used, and is best used from a stable platform or boat. The divers should simply take a large step out from the platform, keeping legs in an open stride. They should try to enter the water with a slightly forward tilt of the upper body so that the force of entry will not cause the cylinder to hit the back of the head.

The three common entries from a boat:Controlled Seated Entry - if you are unsure of the depth of the water, you sit on the dive deck of the boat with your feet in the water. Twisting over, using your arms for leverage, you push off into the water. I typically can do this entry without getting my hair yet. It is very good for shallow water. It is also common off of docks/piers.
Giant Stride Entry - From the dive deck you, step off the boat. This is the most common entry, especially if the water is deep enough that you won't hit the bottom when you first enter the water.
Back-Roll - This is a common entry when the boat does not have a dive deck. Instead of stepping over the gunwale of the boat wearing all of the heavy equipment, you just sit on the gunwale and back roll in. Typically, it is done when you are realtively close to the water.
