AlbakiReads Editorial

Human factors in diving

Under Pressure connects research and practice from high-risk fields with recreational and technical diving. Its detailed case studies examine how human factors relate to incidents and accidents, and introduce non-technical skills as one way divers can manage risk. The book’s emphasis is on recognizing that human error cannot be eliminated while exploring how its likelihood might be reduced. This makes the subject practical and specific to diving, rather than a general discussion of risk alone.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Recreational divers interested in managing risks more effectively
  • Technical divers exploring human factors and non-technical skills
  • Divers who prefer case-study-based coverage

Book overview

Most incidents and accidents are down to 'human error'. Unfortunately, 'human error' is normal and we can't get rid of it. However, we can reduce the likelihood of one of those, 'Oh s***t moments' if we have an understanding of human factors and develop our non-technical skills.

This is a globally-unique book containing decades of research and practice from high-risk domains translated into the world of recreational and technical diving. This is done through the use of numerous detailed case studies to highlight the value and applicability of these skills. This book is a must for all divers who want to manage their risks more effectively and have fun in the process.
