Most incidents and accidents are down to "human error". Unfortunately, human error is normal and common, and we can't get rid of it. However, we can reduce the likelihood of one of those - "oh shit 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.

This is a really good handbook to human factors, particularly as applied to diving but the principles and lessons can easily be applied more generally. It is very well researched and draws on high-quality academic texts as well as real-life case studies from the author's own research.

I'm not a diver but I have an interest in human factors in aviation and decision-making and there was still plenty in this book to interest me. The technical diving issues are presented clearly enough not to detract from the overall messages about human perfomance, psychological safety and leadership/followership.

The book is very well structured as a handbook or ready reference, with chapters that can stand on their own with a standardised format. However, this is where the audiobook is let down by the narration. It's clear enough but there's just not enough variation in tone or sufficient gaps to distinguish easily where the case studies end and the discussion begins, and what I imagine would be a handy bulletised list just kind of merges into a staccato paragraph. Also at times the narrator puts the emphasis on the wrong words as if just reading the words on the page rather than with any understanding.

I do recommend the book, but if you are likely to refer to it then do buy the hard copy.

Great book, but buy the hard copy.

An absolute must read for every diver especially instructors and technical divers. The concept is explained very well with relatable examples.

As other reviewers have highlighted. It makes listening, unnecessarily difficult. When the narration style, is, strangely, staccato. It makes listening, at best, taxing. And at worst. Impossible. Since, as per this sentence, it is difficult to follow. The mind, sometimes, wanders. The contents are good though, and if you can get past the poor narration, it's a useful/worthwhile addition to the safety of the scuba diving community. But my god, it's a tough listen. The content is already a tad dry, since it's about health and safety and a dissection of the thought processes that lead to accidents, so add on the weird pauses in the phrasing and it just jars too much. I'm at chapter 6 and kinda wishing I'd just bought a hard copy.

Sadly some training organizations pay far too little regard to a safe methodology, it's as I grow older as a divemaster that I realise how good the training I personally received was, so much of my skill set was gained by diving for years at the beach I trained on, under the constant gaze of my instructor, now very good friend.
This book would have been a constant source of debate then. I'm just starting to re-listen to it.

An essential analysis of the dive safety mindset.
