Go Diving Show 2025 Tech Stage Speaker: Gareth Lock
Award-winning Human Factors educator and technical diver Gareth Lock will be revealing how understanding human behaviour transforms safety and performance underwater when he takes to the Tech Stage at the GO Diving Show in March.
Gareth Lock is the global authority on human factors in diving and how this contributes to safety, more enjoyable dives, and divers with more capacity. Creator of the acclaimed Human Factors in Diving training programme, he is also the author of the best-selling book Under Pressure and producer of the emotionally powerful and meaningful documentary If Only…
With a Master’s degree in Human Factors and System Safety, and decades of operational experience in the military, Gareth blends academic expertise with real-world insights to help divers improve decision-making, communication, and leadership.
Drysuit Diving Fatality
In 2020, a young lady, Linnea Mills, died during a drysuit diving course in Glacier National Park. There was significant anger and frustration that this event happened as it was entirely preventable. This presentation will take a systems safety and human factors approach to identify the deeper lessons that can be learned from the event.
Human nature and societal expectations mean we have a strong tendency to blame the individuals involved – if we get rid of the ‘bad apple’, everything will be fine going forward. But the science shows that if we aren’t curious and examine the system and context, the same events are likely to happen again.
Come to this presentation if you have an open mind and want to see how to make lasting changes to the sport so we increase enjoyment and improve performance, and manage operational risk, not just liability risk.
