Gareth LockTop tips for beginner divers: Teamwork isn’t just being next to someone underwater. It’s about clear roles, shared plans, and trust. Agree on signals, lead/follow roles, and always debrief. Don’t assume you’re a team—build one before, during, and after every dive.
Mike MasonIt isn't what you say, it is how you say it. By asking open instead of closed questions, we are more likely to make sure things are understood prior to the dive. By asking questions about something rather than someone, we will enable more productive debriefs and the associated learning.
This article will give you, the diver, a basic idea of what Situation Awareness (SA) is, why it is important and how to recognise when it has been ‘lost’.
