Dive Smarter, Dive Safer: Human Factors in Diving
Jen Downey May 22, 2026

Have you ever wondered what truly separates a good dive from a great, safe dive?
It isn’t just your gear or how well you clear your mask. It's how you communicate, how your team makes decisions under pressure, and how you learn from every experience underwater.
We are always looking for ways to help our community become safer, more confident divers. That’s why we are thrilled to host a special online seminar that explores the critical, often overlooked side of diving safety.
Human Factors in Diving: Better Teams, Better Decisions, Safer Dives
Whether you are a newly certified open water diver or a seasoned technical explorer, understanding human factors is the key to elevating your time in the water.
During this interactive Zoom session, we’ll dive into how core concepts like communication, decision-making, teamwork, leadership, followership, and debriefing directly shape dive safety and prevent incidents.
