According to a diving accident authority investigation, the main cause of the accident was panic! This article will reveal the secrets of a diver's panic in depth and help you to reduce the panic after panic and post-panic solutions! Even if it's not a diver, water-related athletes should learn.
Why is panic so deadly?
* We are all mortals and have deep psychological fears that cannot be suppressed.
* Panic is like a snake slipping quietly, leaving you unprepared.
* When the panic starts, it will be hard to calm down! Efda4a66a0cf4b0e99978cb48ae98361_th
What is the panic?
Panic is a natural, non-voluntary response that you are under excessive pressure. It is your own reaction to potential dangers. It is not controlled by the brain. It is triggered by a series of "spontaneous emergency systems" that release adrenaline and other hormones into the bloodstream. Cause your blood pressure to rise, rapid breathing and heartbeat, tight muscles, elevated blood sugar, increased lung volume, and dilated pupils. When the system is activated, your brain responds until everything calms down.
Panic confuses your thinking
Panic is not only "irrational", but even "anti-rational." These hormones and its role not only interfere with your ability to think clearly, but also make you wonder how to be good? Like:
Thinking narrow
It can be said that it is a psychological "tunnel vision" that will make your thoughts into a dead end and you cannot come up with other feasible alternative methods. In one example, a diver was found hovering in a golf pool. He was going down to golf. When he was found, the balls were still tied to him. He was unable to rise because of the weight of the ball. When he tried his best to air and gas, he forgot to unload the ball or lead!
Forget to learn
When many pressures accumulate until the emergency system activates, you will forget all the skills you have learned, such as neutral buoyancy, air supply sharing, lead discarding, emergency rise, leaving only the instinctive response, such as desperately playing fins , rushing around, trying to leave the bottom of the water desperately, but forgot how to do it.

What can cause panic
Most people think that "panic" comes with fear! In fact, it is more appropriate to say that fear is a symptom of panic! What triggered your panic, leaving you out of control and letting it drown your sanity? The number of causes is much greater than the severity of the impact. Do not understand? For example, a diver with a heavy weight struggles to keep his neutral under the water. He is tired and cold, and he has to pay attention to the depth at a time. At the moment, he doesn’t know what is wrapped around him. When he turned to look at it and the mask went into the water again, his depth began to sink. At this time, panic could have occurred. When a single incident happened, he might be able to handle it, but all the problems were also at the same time. It will be very difficult for people to calmly face it! Therefore, a series of incidents will change from worrying to shaken, to anxiety, and finally panic!
Insignificance can also be regrettable
Leading factors do not need to be threatening: staying up late, catching a cold, insomnia, long distances, seasickness, the weaker your body, the lower your ability to deal with conditions!
The factors that lead to it need not be related to diving: you are too loud to argue with one another and the work is behind schedule. Anything in your heart will reduce your concentration on this dives.
The resulting factors do not need to be true: They lack confidence in themselves, fear that they are being teased by their potential companions, or, on the contrary, demand that they have the deepest, longest hidden time, and the least use of gas.
Panic warning sign
Usually the message is revealed by our casual or unconscious action. Learn how to observe the signs that appear outside. Whether it is yourself or your partner, prevent it from happening before it is bigger than the snowball. Panic gets out of control! In the Stress and Performance in Diving book, Glen Egstrom and Arthur Bachrach mentioned some signs that can clearly tell the difference between a diver under pressure and normal.
Pressure signs before diving
Procrastination: Maybe he is different from the usual late arrival, or the movement of the assembly equipment is unusually slow.
It has been a mistake: He has been doing something simple, like turning a head up.
Willing to be narrow: Perhaps he tried to turn it on again without paying attention!
Poor analytical skills: Analysis, the ability of the organization to divers is very important, it will classify the problems encountered, and then sort out the treatment. But overdose, worried about currents, water temperature, equipment, this is a sign of anxiety.
More than words: Some people will use a laughing manner to hide their anxiety, to deal with their own fears.
Silence: Before going into the water, careful inspection of the equipment is correct, but if he is completely isolated from the potential mate, or just waiting for others to order, it also means that the diver tries to hide behind others to avoid danger.
Underwater pressure signs
Body poses upward
If the diver regularly raises his head or chest, it is an obvious sign of stress.
Try to grab something
Stay in the water for long periods without running into the water, continue to catch the descent ropes or the boat, be too close to the potential companions, and always pay attention to the whereabouts of the potential companions, hold on to the exhaust valve, or watch all the time. Instrumentation. All these are signs of anxiety.
Always pay attention to the direction of the water
Normal, relaxed divers will look forward, down, and in the direction of their potential companions; if a diver keeps paying attention to the direction of the water, there may be a rush toward the water in his mind.
Ridiculous move
Fast and irregular behaviors indicate anxiety, especially like riding a bicycle, and using your hand to paddle!
Continuous acceleration
The movement of the relaxed diver is slow and smooth. Suddenly changing the speed, especially when he is going up and back to the ship, means that he wants to escape from danger.
Quick, shallow, irregular breathing
Natural reactions to anxiety increase the speed and frequency of breathing. Short, shallow breaths often cause "hyperventilation", the exchange of oxygen becomes inefficient, and breathing is more difficult. At this moment, anxiety is deepened. The diver's excessive and continuous bubbles are a warning!
Eyes wide open
If the diver’s eyes are wide and straight, the panic is now in front of him!
What should I do?
Usually a little preparation (training) will be better than emergency helicopters. Grab the problem and break it one by one so that it will not accumulate until you panic! There is a Boy Scout Proverb: Be Prepared! (The Chinese say better, do not beat the enemy, and wait for it)
Accept advanced courses
Each stage of the course will bring you new knowledge and ideas, and will also lay your foundation firmly
Staying in top condition
Physiological health, especially cardiovascular, also maintains sufficient physical strength to avoid fatigue and fatigue. Tiredness is often the most directly helpless in diving.
Well equipped
Isn't it just that you have some equipment that you need? Is the equipment operating normally? Is it familiar with its operation? Don't forget about too many unfamiliar devices, and sometimes it becomes your source of stress.
Finishing equipment
The day before the dive, the necessary equipment should be put together so that it will not fall out! (Recommend me like me as a poor memory bad companion, make a checklist yourself, clean up before packing up equipment)
Think for a second
When finishing equipment, think about whether there is any leakage? Before getting on the bus, take a look at everything? Before boarding the ship, if you find anything wrong before you go to the water, handle it immediately!
On land, let it go only to the land.
Think of boarding the boat (sewer) as a chance to escape all your troubles temporarily. Turn off your mobile phone and concentrate and enjoy the dive!
Carefully select potential partners
A good dive partner can let you relax a lot of diving pressure. On the other hand, oftentimes the wrong partner, but sometimes it will become your source of pressure. Choose diving skills and experience a close companion.
Do a good dive plan
Unknown factors decrease, the entire diving process is clear, the more you can master the dive!
Stop, breathe, think about it, act
Immediately before the accumulation of pressure, if there is something abnormal under the water, stop first and take a deep breath. If you still suck, you will have time to calm down and deal with any issues calmly. And simply take a deep breath, this action will effectively calm you down!
