Dive Site Hazards

  • Hidden Depth Variations — Complex reef topography can conceal depth changes, leading to unintended profile variations.

  • Distraction from Marine Activity — High fish activity can distract divers and delay depth or gas awareness.

  • Rapid Surge Direction Changes — Surge near reef structures can reverse direction quickly, pushing divers sideways into unexpected areas.

  • Navigation Ambiguity — Lack of reference points makes exits harder to relocate.

  • Unnoticed Depth Drift — Featureless terrain can cause slow, unnoticed depth changes.

  • Camouflaged Hazardous Species — Hazardous marine life may remain unnoticed until very close.
