Dive Site Hazards

Unstable Visual Ascents — Relying on wall visuals can destabilise ascents.
Gradual Depth Creep — Lack of visual bottom reference can cause unnoticed descent.
Unsignalled Downcurrents — Downcurrents can form without visible indicators.

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.
