What sort of personality traits, attitudes or character strengths that are useful for dry land living have been dangerous to your diving?
How far have you gone in self awareness to make changes to safeguard against these potentially life threatening unsuitable aspects.
For myself I'm extremely practical and hands on... I test theories and explore information I am told... commendable in myself on dry land and allows me to understand things deeply and passionately...
Get me underwater and it's dangerous to act on. I've put myself in actual danger underwater while testing theories... my personality wants to know things first hand I'm better leaving to quality hearsay for my own safety. (DCS, oxtox, and certain environmental hazards come to mind for example) I'm working on tempered my natural bent (unfortunate word choice) by adding extra safety measures to when I want to 'try something' and more importantly am learning to accept research without personally verifying it. This is one reason I love this forum.
This thread won't appeal to all personality types but perhaps there's some good discussion in attributes that will get someone killed if it's left unchecked underwater.
I'd suggest hubris is danger, as an offshoot of the Chatterton article: Accomplished Bad Divers
Cheers,
Cameron
