- Essential information for all divers
I began viewing my scuba diving, and life in general, through a different lens after reading Under Pressure. I then took the Essentials online course followed by the two-day course Human Factors in Diving (HFiD) and advanced my understanding and impact of human factors and non-technical skills. Elevate your diving general life skills. Read, listen and absorb Gareth’s insights.

It’s appropriate for all divers from the first open water dive certification to the most advanced professional in the field.

Apple Podcasts5Ron & Heidi SCUBAUnited States3 years ago - Long Form Conversations
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.

Apple Podcasts5DocvfrUnited States3 years ago - Life changing - literally
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.
