Über diesen Titel

 In the inaugural episode of Tech Diving On Air, host Tamara is joined by Gareth Lock, the founder of The Human Diver and a globally recognized expert in Human Factors within the diving industry.Together, they take a deep dive into one of the most difficult and often silenced topics in the community: sexual abuse and harassment. Moving beyond the rumors, they analyze the grim reality reflected in the recent Business of Diving Institute community survey. Gareth applies his expertise in Human Factors—typically used to analyze diving accidents—to explain why harassment persists. They explore the dangerous "normalization of deviance," the power dynamics between instructors and students, and the systemic failure of training agencies to protect victims. This is a candid, necessary conversation about why good decision-making isn't just about buoyancy—it's about boundaries, safety, and changing the culture.In this episode, we discuss:The Data: Breaking down the shocking statistics from the recent community survey regarding harassment frequency and the gender gap in reporting.The Human Factor: How concepts like "Psychological Safety" and "Normalization of Deviance" explain why abusive behaviors are often tolerated or ignored in dive centers.Power Dynamics: The complex mix of hierarchy (Instructor vs. Student) and economics (Client vs. Provider) that makes reporting difficult.Systemic Failure: Why the current reporting systems within agencies are failing to protect victims and hold offenders accountable.The Path Forward: How education, calling out bad behavior, and reshaping industry standards can help make diving safer for everyone.To read the results of the survey "Sexual Harassment in the Scuba Diving Industry" by the Business of Diving Institute click on this link: https://www.businessofdiving.com/sexual-harassment-scuba-industryAbout the Guest: Gareth Lock is a former Royal Air Force officer turned technical diver.
