This podcast is a mixture of interviews and 'shorts' which are audio versions of the weekly blog from The Human Diver. Each month we will look to have at least one interview and one case study discussion where we look at an event in detail and how human factors and non-technical skills contributed (or prevented) it from happening in the manner it did.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/counter-errorism-in-diving-applying-human-factors-to-diving-6626048"},"episode":{"title":"SH261: “Would you speak up to the Commander?” - “No. They already know” - Making changes to your team's diving","slug":"sh261-would-you-speak-up-to-the-commander-no-they-already-know-making-changes-to-your-team-s-diving","published_at":"2026-03-14T08:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/counter-errorism-in-diving-applying-human-factors-to-diving-6626048/sh261-would-you-speak-up-to-the-commander-no-they-already-know-making-changes-to-your-team-s-diving","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/counter-errorism-in-diving-applying-human-factors-to-diving-6626048","url":"https://www.thehumandiver.com/","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/85e26cd7-a3db-4b12-a6f0-784f240fc486.mp3","summary":"This episode explores why real learning in diving is harder than buying new gear or following checklists. It explains how divers, like firefighters and oil and gas workers, often struggle to change habits, question tradition, and speak up in teams, even when something feels wrong. The problem isn’t a lack of training or information, but culture — things like hierarchy, fear of blame, and not feeling safe to challenge more experienced people. The key message is that safer diving doesn’t come from more equipment or more rules, but from better communication, shared learning, honest debriefs, and strong non-technical skills like teamwork, awareness, and decision-making. Real change only happens when these behaviours become everyday habits, not one-off courses, and when teams create an environment where people feel safe to learn, ask questions, and improve together.
