What is Rip entry in Diving?

A near-splashless entry that sounds like fabric tearing, achieved with flat palms punching a hole in the water and a vertical, stretched body sliding through it. The visible hallmark of elite diving and the fastest route to 9s and 10s.

Example: The rip entry left barely a ring on the surface.
