Bezpieczeństwo nurkowe zaczyna się na powierzchni: niewidoczne problemy, erozja marginesu, normalizacja dewiacji. Problemy nietechniczne generują awarię tak samo jak uszkodzony sprzęt.

Diving safety begins on the surface: invisible problems, margin erosion, and normalisation of deviations. Non-technical problems cause failures just as much as faulty equipment.

Diving can’t copy aviation oversight, but it can build margin and capacity. This blog explores how commercial pressure, instructor trade-offs, and system design drive drift—and why improving safety means shifting from compliance to capacity, aligning incentives, and making learning visible.
