Most people do not openly admit their fears before diving. The unwillingness to stop someone else’s dive lead many uncomfortable divers to enter the water despite their uneasy feelings. Talk with your buddy before diving, and make sure both of you are comfortable with the dive plan👌🏽 If you notice your buddy is being unusually: 🗣 Talkative or quiet 📋 Compulsively checking gear 👀 Acting strange before a dive 🫧 Suddenly losing buoyancy control during the dive 😤 Breathing rapidly Stay positive and reassuring. Assist them as soon as you can, but don’t dismiss fears or pressure a hesitant person to dive. You can’t plan for everything, so if you or a buddy experiences discomfort underwater, remember to stop, think, and act in accordance with your training to prevent panic. If the dive becomes overwhelming, ascend to a shallower, more controlled environment or end your dive as safely as possible. Keep your cool, prevent panic, and make all your dives injury- and accident-free. #diversalertnetwork #dan #scuba #scubadiving #scubadiver #anxiety #panic
