Counter-Errorism in Diving: Applying Human Factors to Diving

Gareth’s book “Under Pressure” is a must read for all scuba divers. He debriefs accidents in a nonjudgemental describing patterns of thinking that contributed to the accident. He looks at the culture of the diving community and how it contributes to a culture where accidents or close calls are often not thoroughly debriefed. In his podcasts he briefly covers topics that are important to divers. He provides excellent resources and links to “dive” further into the topic. I look forward to each podcast!

Gareth has truly created the most important dive safety content for the industry. His concepts are designed to create critical thinking skills and apply them to everyday diving situations. It’s appropriate for all divers from the first open water dive certification to the most advanced professional in the field. Thank you Gareth for continuing to provide this information for the safety of the masses. Cheers.

Truly stoked to see that Gareth has “finally” gotten into the podcast game as a host. As a guest on our podcast, he spoke as if he had been preparing for this role all his life, which of course he has. The long form conversations that podcasts allow are one more way for divers, etc., to learn from experts like Gareth and his guests which can then be applied to their own experiences. Looking forward to the in depth listening that your podcast will surely offer. Daniel Porter Producer The Dive Table

Gareth is bringing the human back to diving and ushering in a much needed culture shift in the community. What I have learned in Human Factors has fundamentally changed not only how I do my dives, but how I learn and get better. I can even apply these lessons and techniques in my non-diving career.
