Be the first to share your shots from Henderson Rock & Cherubs Cave. Your photos help other divers plan their trip.
Situational Awareness Loss — Divers may fixate on sharks and lose depth or position awareness.
Subtle Behavioural Shifts — Changes in shark behaviour may be missed without active observation.
Blue-Water Reference Loss — Lack of visual references increases ascent and descent instability.
Eddy Pull-Off Zones — Eddies behind structures can pull divers away from the main drift line.
Delayed Surface Pickup — Strong current can exceed surface tracking assumptions, delaying boat pickup.
Vertical Current Shear — Currents may vary by depth, causing vertical separation even when divers stay together.
Remote Silt Disturbance — Silt can be disturbed metres away from the source.
Rapid Stress Escalation — Stress can increase sharply when visibility or navigation degrades.
High Cognitive Load Navigation — Complex passages increase mental workload even on a line.
Gradual Narcosis Onset — Narcosis may develop slowly, making self-assessment unreliable.
Task Fixation at Depth — Cognitive narrowing at depth can reduce awareness of time and ascent rate.
Increased Gas Density Breathing Load — Higher gas density at depth increases work of breathing.
