Bubble Trapping Under Overhangs — Rock overhangs can trap exhaled bubbles, reducing visibility and causing disorientation.
Reflected Surge Patterns — Surge reflecting off rock faces can create irregular and unpredictable water movement.
Current Funnel Effect — Narrow gaps between rocks can accelerate water flow unexpectedly.
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.
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.
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.
