We will help you to:
Discover
why compliance provides an illusion of safety in diving. Discover how important human factors, non-technical skills, psychological safety, and a Just Culture are to safer and more enjoyable dives. Our research has shown that the challenges faced by divers are often about communication, situation awareness, leadership, and stressful situations. These topics aren't explicitly taught in diver training or instructor development programmes, so they're likely new to you. Think of this training as the 'Fundamentals of Diving for your brain'.
Explore
how the ideas and tools taught to you can be applied to your diving, your personal life, and your professional life. Many graduates have described the new paradigm as 'not being able to see the world the same way, things are very different'. This reflection has a profound impact on how they view both success and failure.

Learn from experts
At The Human Diver, you’re not just learning from experienced instructors - you’re training with elite professionals.
Our Human Factors in Diving instructors come from high-performance team backgrounds where decision-making, situation awareness, and safety are paramount. They are all experienced team divers and many are also technical, cave and rebreather diving instructors.
Our instructors empower you to make better decisions and operate with heightened awareness in order to become a better diver.
Be more aware
Whether you’re diving within a team or even a team of 2, The Human Diver fosters a culture of awareness, teamwork, and a ‘Just’ culture, ensuring that you not only improve your technical skills but also develop the mindset necessary for safer, more effective and more enjoyable diving.
The Human Diver promotes a learning environment that is altruistic, professional, and inclusive, helping you to develop confidence, resilience, and better decision-making skill.
Awareness is developed not just 'in the dive' but also how success and failures occur in diving through reflection and event analysis.
Be part of a community
More than just an organisation focused on learning, The Human Diver cultivates a global community of influencers and leaders with the ability to create a tribe and promote a culture of safety and awareness in the global diving industry.
With a team that embodies passion, knowledge, altruism, and a lack of ego, The Human Diver ensures that every diver walks away, not just as a better diver, but as a more self-aware and capable leader within their diving community.
The community is growing and having a positive influence on change across all diving sectors. Be part of it.

Testimonials
Susanne S.
"The human factors course was an extraordinary experience. First, it helped to create a friendly environment to share and learn. During teamwork, the special moments were unexpected situations that forced us to replan and communicate effectively, similar to real diving and no diving moments. I strongly recommend this course for divers and no divers!"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Jason C.
"I found this training to be among the most excellent I've partaken in.
The classroom days were fun and engaging, structured in such a way that we were kept on our toes but never rushed.
I would recommend this training not only to divers, but to anyone in possession of a brain who would like to work effectively with other people!"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Paul T.
"This program brings everyone, no matter what background or experience to the same level. It forges teamwork in minutes rather than days, or weeks, or even months. Explanations of complex ideas and statements were made easy to understand so that retention is assured.
The Human Diver is valid for every diver, no matter whether that be an Open water Diver or a Trimix Rebreather Cave Instructor Trainer."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Andzrej G.
"All the aspects of the course were known to me. I did Essentials, the 10-week program, read most of the blogs and several of the 'reading materials'. Still this was an eye-opener. It's like learning buoyancy, trim and proper movement in the water column. You can know the theory, train and apply all the skills, but until you get yourself filmed and watch it several times, you can begin to understand how it works and how to improve working on yourself. So it was like that film."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Matt D.
"This course is a must for any organisation whether involved in diving or not, human factors transpose in to all teams and can help provide the framework for building and fostering a just culture within any organisation"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Nevo V.
"I came to this course after taking the 10-week series a few months before. This course helps turning theory into practical tools through a process of trial and error which puts a mirror on your own and the other students’ behaviours and reactions when working in a team. Afterwards they are analyzed together to create awareness of those behaviors, so making it easier to identify them when they reoccur in the future."
