This comment is in continuation to my initial comment on the “Diver Fatalities” video, and my most recent, extremely short summary argument for implementation of the use of checklists at all levels of diving ( www.linkedin.com/pulse/case-checklists-aj-powell ). As a career instructor in both military aviation and diving, and a specialist in the science of influence (leadership, organizational leadership, and development), the argument of human factors, as stated in the video, is extraordinarily broad. The simple honest truth is, the vast majority of recreational divers today suffer from garbage training standards due to inadequately developed curriculum, a terrible approach to training requirements designed for profitability instead of toward a developmentally progressive approach, a horrible teaching methodology by many that focuses on habit development instead of mental engagement and recognition, and more. Yes, a vast array of tiny events can build up over time to culminate toward an eventual bad outcome down the line, but there is an argument to be made that both correct training methodologies and equipment designs play a significant role in accident prevention by removing bad training that leads to bad behaviors, as well as bad equipment designs that don’t belong in diving. From a training and development perspective, combined, both behavior development and systems designs work together toward accident prevention. This is exactly why we conduct briefings, utilize checklists, train progressively with skills, conduct crew coordination, conduct after action reviews, and publish results of both good and bad flights in military aviation. I argue we should approach dove training and systems designs the same.
A topic of safety and well-being to diver .great clarification on webinar . Thank you much
