I met Gareth Lock, director of @TheHumanDiver in Bruges/Belgium to talk about dive accidents and the role of Human Factors/Non-technical skills in dive accident prevention. A dive accident can happen to every diver and we better be prepared. Sadly, this is NOT covered in any scuba diving class. Watch Europe's most beautiful city and learn something about dive accident prevention from Gareth Lock!

I've called dives, called dives for others sake and had people call dives. However, the biggest learning experience I've had for calling dives is diving with my kids. When one diver is 12 years old and 30 kilo and the other has been diving for 25 years is amazing how much better they can evaluate their comfort level than i think. So important to listen to everyone's view on every dive and so important not to push.
Yes absolutely!
What a lovely video… good to see you back Ben! 🤙🏻
Thank you very much! Yeah it’s good to be back to RUclips 😄
there are multiple issues imo..
people get complacent with what they do and forget basic rules and procedures bit by bit and / or people diving outside of their abilities knowingly and unknowingly
as most dives go well they feel as if they are "up there" and ready. this works as long as nothing goes sideways, because if it does then they stress out and make a situation worse very fast
most divers are adults and its up to them to ensure their training is not finished even after being certified
its also up to our selves to make sure our buddy is trained as well
whenever i dive, be it with someone new or someone i already know, i always do some basic drills first (signs, out of air, dive planning and talking through alternative scenarios (what if someone gets lost, how far away are you allowed to stay from me and vice versa etc).
if someone think thats an overkill than you are more than allowed to dive with someone else lol
Oh yeah, absolutely! Still, as Gareth said, creating an environment where anybody can speak up and articulate fears and doubts or tell that he or she doesn’t remember a sign, planning rule or whatever is extremely important!
Fully agree, people are generaly not aware of how poor their skills are and are very complacent because "everything will be alright".
In terms of human factors: Are they not aware or rather afraid to communicate that?
@@DoktorBEN I'm not sure I have the answer, but my opinion is that the general diver is unaware, the more experienced diver is a more afraid.
@@jcvanier this 100%! i also do freediving, skydiving, fighting and climbing. newbies are unaware and the more experienced often have an ego that gets in the way.
best that can happen to you is to have a humbling experience where you get out with one or two blue eyes.
i had a scary situation while diving and also one while skydiving. both directly related to neglecting some basic protocol and developing an "seen it all" attitude.
after talking to some of the most experienced people in these sports, i realized that they all emphasize the basics and check lists massively.
i am now very strict when it comes to this stuff and realized most people not only understand but get inspired by it as well. it gives them a sense of safety and many shared with me how they wished this was more a thing in general.
leading by example
stay safe you all and remember your worst enemy is your own ego
This is wild 4 weeks ago i ordered the book Under Pressure and a week after that Ben upload a video about the author.
Close calls by Stratis Kas is also very good book!
Thanks for the recommendation!
A number of people died due to failure to be able to handle basic mishaps such a regular retrieval, entanglements, and mask clearing.
To loosely cite Bruce Lee: “I don’t fear the man who trained 10000 kicks once, but the one who trained one kick 10000 times”

Over confidence and complacency.
Guess it’s the problem with everything
