Correndo através dos cursos: quão rápido é rápido demais?

Eu tive uma semana decepcionante. Vi nas redes sociais que um dos meus ex-alunos acabou de concluir seu curso avançado de trimix. Isso pode parecer algo estranho de se dizer, afinal, eu deveria estar comemorando a conquista dele, certo? Minha decepção vem do fato de que ele completou seu curso an...

Mentoring: Both sides of the story

Last week I talked about leadership of a short term team. This week I’d like to look at a different form of leadership; mentoring. A mentor/mentee* is one of the strongest relationships in a team. It is traditionally thought of as an unequal relationship, but that isn’t always the case. It’s fou...

Leadership in a Short Term Team

In this blog last week I spoke about teamwork and how it applies to us as divers. This week, I’d like to dig into how that means some of us are required to be leaders. Aside from Divemasters and Instructors, the idea of being a leader as a diver might seem strange, but that depends on your defini...

The Value of Loops for Learning: Don't Just Fix the Diver / Instructor

While it’s not a traditional team sport, aside from solo divers (and even then they are often part of a team, more on th...

Zaliczanie kursów, jeden po drugim - jak szybko to za szybko?

Wydarzenia minionego tygodnia, mocno mnie rozczarowały. Widziałam w mediach społecznościowych, że jeden z moich poprzednich uczniów właśnie ukończył kurs Advanced Trimix. Może się to wydawać dziwne, przecież powinnam świętować jego osiągnięcie. Moje rozczarowanie wynika z tego, że ukończył swój p...

Racing through courses- how fast is too fast?

I’ve had a disappointing week. I saw on social media that one of my previous students has just completed his advanced trimix course. That might seem like an odd thing to say, surely I should be celebrating his achievement? My disappointment comes because he only completed his previous course with...

Facing One's Own Shadow: Discrimination in Diving Limits Learning, Impacts Safety, and Perpetuates Stereotypes

This blog post was originally written in Polish. You can find the original here: https://www.thehumandiver.com/blog/walka-z-wlasnym-cieniem We are tribal beings. We have a strong internal need to distinguish our group from others. We can talk about tribes, divers, but also technical divers and r...

My Attitude Impacts Your Behaviour...

Quite a bold statement but here's why...and its known as the Betari Box. The Betari Box model illustrates how our own attitudes and behaviours are affected by other people and how that goes on to affect other peoples’ attitudes and behaviours. If those attitudes and behaviours are negative the...
