Psychology for Scuba Divers

An online course covering a wide range of topics in the psychological aspects of diving. We look at important concepts such as task loading and situational awareness; and how these are affected by issues like stress or changes to the way the brain works underwater. We explore what motivates you as a diver. Consider ways you will continue to learn effectively in your future diving. We also look at different factors that influence what we do as divers, sometimes doing things we would not normally do!

Prevent Panic in Scuba Diving

This online course goes deeper into the theories of diver panic. We start by exploring how much of a problem this is for divers, then explain what panic is and the causes of diver panic. We also take a look at why sometimes, some divers get stuck with repeat experiences of panic underwater. This is a useful course to compliment rescue diver training, in which you learn to identify and respond to panicked divers.

This brief video introduces the core concepts of the course, but clearly to understand this we need to go deeper, share ideas and experiences. In Prevent Panic for Scuba Divers we get into the statistics, research and theory, brought together with four case studies that run through the course.
