Moving the theory into practice by doing what counts - the diving!
Exploring the reefs and wrecks around the island of Vis, and turning your recently learned knowledge into practice.
Recreational, technical, and CCR diving opportunities are all catered for.
The Plan
Five days of diving with up to 10 dives using Nitrox (single cylinder/twinset) covered in your conference registration fee.
Monday - Thursday mornings there will be an HFiD: Applied Skills or Learning from Emergent Outcomes (LFEO) Applied Skills class. Each class will be made up of similarly interested divers e.g., recreational, technical or CCR divers.
Monday - Thursday afternoons will be diving. Two boats. Each one doing one long (60 mins+) or two shorter dives (<60 mins) on the wrecks and reefs around Vis island with your team from the morning and a Human Diver instructor. The location will be decided by your team to maximise your enjoyment and bring the theory to life.
Friday will be a 'free' day for diving and/or exploration. You are free to do what you want.
For those who have already completed an HFiD: Applied Skills class, an advanced class will be available. We will allocate the most useful training for you based on your goals, your experience, and type of diving.
The Goal
Make the online and classroom learning tangible and practical by going diving as a team, with a Human Diver instructor who will coach and facilitate the learning transfer.
The philosophy of The Human Diver is about creating opportunities to learn for real, not just in books, magazines or blogs.
Your dives will match your diving qualifications (from recreational to deeper trimix OC and CCR dives), and will combine both the exploration of the wrecks and reefs in the area, with the lessons from the classroom sessions.
Practical
Improvement doesn't happen by listening to presentations, it happens by taking the knowledge and practice told by others and making that first step yourself. This conference is different.
The conference will deliver:
- Presentations
- HFiD: Applied Skills classes
- Diving on the awesome wrecks and reefs around Vis, Croatia,
The goal is to take theory, apply it in class, and the embed it in your diving. Moving lessons from 'identified' to 'learned'.

What...
The 2021 Human Factors in Diving Conference is the focal point for thinking about and applying human factors knowledge, skills. and practice to diving. Diving that ranges from recreational, technical, cave, CCR, public safety diving, military diving, scientific diving and commercial diving.
All you will need to attend the conference is an internet connection and a device which allows audio and video. LexGo runs from inside a browser so no special software is needed.
