Deco theory – Chapter
Human Factors and Managing DCS
Why are diving accidents often treated so differently from other sports injuries?
This chapter explores guilt, stigma, and how incidents are discussed within the diving community
.
We will examine what would need to happen for decompression accidents to be viewed more objectively,
fairly, and helpfully – without blame or taboos.
- Why DCS is often stigmatized
- The role of Denial and Hindsight Bias
- Why open discussion about accidents is so important
- What a better safety culture could look like
