70.71kmNavigation 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.
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.
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.
Landmark Misidentification — Familiar sites can become unrecognisable at night.
Light-Induced Tunnel Vision — Focused light beams reduce peripheral awareness.
Depth Perception Errors — Reduced ambient light increases depth perception mistakes.
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.
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.
