Location details missing.
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.
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.
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.
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.
