"Under Pressure: Diving Deeper with Human Factors" which examines the critical role of Human Factors and Non-Technical Skills in high-stakes environments, particularly diving. The book focuses on improving performance and safety by analysing how human error is often a symptom of systemic failures, rather than a simple cause. Through chapter synopses and detailed case studies—including narratives from experienced technical divers and a breakdown of the "Miracle on the Hudson"—the source explores complex concepts such as situation awareness, decision-making under pressure, the difference between risk and uncertainty, and the importance of fostering a Just Culture and psychological safety within teams. The material emphasizes that effective performance is a product of the individual and the environment, advocating for learning from mistakes and failures to improve the entire system.
