Dive Site Hazards

  • Thermocline Buoyancy Shift — Sharp thermoclines can cause sudden buoyancy changes.

  • Instant Visibility Collapse — Sediment disturbance can eliminate visibility immediately.

  • Late Detection of Structures — Submerged structures may only appear at very close range.

  • Deceptive Entry Openings — Openings may become restrictive inside due to angle, collapse, or corrosion.

  • Surge-Induced Internal Silt Shift — Internal surge can move silt and debris without direct contact.

  • Partial Overhead Environment — Many wrecks limit direct ascent even without full penetration.

  • Fine Rust Particle Silt-Out — Disturbed rust particles can rapidly reduce visibility.
