To really make a consistent improvement in your <a href=\"https:\/\/scubatechphilippines.com\/scuba_blog\/what-is-technical-diving\/\">technical diving<\/a> performance, the vast majority of the

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As an inexperienced technical diver, it might seem daunting or fruitless to self-critique, problem-solve and overcome your own performance limitations.&nbsp;After all, you aren&#8217;t qualified or experienced to make informed observations and analyses; let alone to adapt your practice drills and skills. Just understand that the process of observation-analysis-adaption is absolutely&nbsp;an adaptable skill that you can learn and which will develop the more you use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your ability to reflect upon and assess your performance, to self-critique your successes and failures, and then to effectively modify your practice and preparations for future diving <strong>will<\/strong> improve over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"scuba-1193398807\" class=\"scuba-b4-h2-2 scuba-entity-placement\" style=\"margin-top: 10px;margin-bottom: 10px;\"><div class=\"scuba-adlabel\">Sponsored Link<\/div><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-9354033900485448\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9354033900485448\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"2393012471\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"false\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Technical-diver-development-is-mental-not-just-physical\"><\/span>Technical diver development is mental, not just physical<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The problem for many technical divers is that they perceive <a href=\"https:\/\/scubatechphilippines.com\/scuba_blog\/scuba-diving-skill-development\/\">skill development<\/a> as a purely physical challenge. That&#8217;s normal because the practical diving skills that we learn in most courses are entirely kinaesthetic in nature. We see an instructor perform a demonstration and we replicate those movements and physical sensations repeatedly until we can mimic what we&#8217;ve seen and achieve the desired result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A-corrective-feedback-loop-for-mental-development\"><\/span>A corrective feedback loop for mental development<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In contrast, the <em>observe-analysis-adapt<\/em>&nbsp;process is a mental development. It requires the technical diver to make a consistent thoughtful effort to improve themselves before, during, and after, every dive they conduct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;<em>Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason why so few engage in it.<\/em>&#8221; &#8211; Henry Ford.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Henry Ford noted, the motivation to think hard is one of the hardest to cultivate and the easiest to avoid.&nbsp; It&#8217;s for this reason that many technical divers with performance or competency deficit issues will often resort to an equipment-based solution, or even to just avoid solutions entirely and accept their limitations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Technical-diver-denial\"><\/span>Technical diver denial<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Avoidance and denial result from this tendency to avoid thinking and accept our weaknesses. I often hear divers, and even instructors, talking about &#8220;<em>the need to gain further experience to make an improvement<\/em>&#8220;.&nbsp; That&#8217;s a weak excuse; it avoids what&#8217;s really necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Experience acquisition is pointless unless we <strong>simultaneously<\/strong> apply the<em> observation-analysis-adaption<\/em> process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gaining experience gives<strong> very little tangible benefit<\/strong>; unless it is paired with <em>actual practice sessions&nbsp;<\/em>to adapt your performance and improve upon your limitations, based on effective self-observation and analytical thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"scuba-918246119\" class=\"scuba-b4-h2-3 scuba-entity-placement\" style=\"margin-top: 10px;margin-bottom: 10px;\"><div class=\"scuba-adlabel\">Sponsored Link<\/div><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-9354033900485448\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9354033900485448\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"6151212517\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"false\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
