In parts one and two of this blog, we explored six of the "Dirty Dozen" human factors that contribute to errors and incidents in diving: lack of communication, distractions, lack of resources, stress, complacency and lack of teamwork.

Muitas vezes falamos sobre segurança no mergulho em termos de equipamentos, procedimentos e normas. Mas aqui está a verdade incômoda: geralmente, as maiores ameaças à segurança do mergulho não vêm daí — elas vêm dos mergulhadores, às vezes na forma de má liderança. Deixe-me compartilhar uma situ...
We often talk about safety in diving in terms of equipment, procedures, and standards. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: usually, the biggest threats to dive safety don’t come from them — they come from the divers, sometimes in the form of poor leadership. Let me share a real situation that un...

As the diver was about to get up from the bench, having not done their pre-dive checks on their rebreather, they realised they were light-headed and looked down to check the loop pO2 - their rebreather han...
Life is full of hazards, those things (threats) that can harm or kill you, and we use experience, processes, and rules to identify the threat, control the harm that can come from the hazard, and/or mitigate the effects if the barriers fail and we encounter the threat. Drowning is a hazard we con...
