SH103: The Dunning Kruger effect- Incompetent (or Competent?!) and Unaware
In this episode, we explore the Dunning-Kruger effect, a cognitive bias where people with limited skills or knowledge in a particular area tend to overestimate their abilities, while those with more expertise may underestimate their competence. This effect explains why some new divers might think theyā€™re better than they are, while more experienced divers might not realize how skilled theyā€™ve become. We discuss how continuous learning and staying humble can help us accurately assess our abilities, leading to safer and more effective diving practices.
