Operating a broken spacecraft...
Each morning the Human Diver instruction team will deliver a mixture of theory and practical sessions using the Interpersonal Skills LAB. In effect, we've taken the normal two-day course and created four half-day sessions.
This HFiD: Applied Skills course is included in the cost of the conference.
Each mission explores the boundaries of personal and team performance in a safe environment. Because the team members are operating in a new environment, there are expectations that they will fail and make mistakes, but through reflective debriefs and applying the theory from the class, the team identify critical steps to make improvements in subsequent missions.
The teams will learn how to plan, brief, execute their missions, and then debrief them using the tools from The Human Diver.
...to becoming an effective dive team
The Human Diver team aren't there to create awesome astronauts who can operate the InterLAB spacecraft. The mission is to improve the performance and safety divers, so they can plan, brief, execute, and then debrief their dives.
Those who attend the conference will have the opportunity to develop their non-technical skills in the classroom in the morning, and then visit one of the many dive sites around the island to complete up to two dives, practising and reinforcing the skills they learned that morning.
