Participate in a short survey on your diving style!
I m a researcher/diver at the University of Amsterdam and we are investigating the motivation of divers, to improve training. Please help us make diving a more safe sport by filling out the survey (5-10 minutes)
Thanks a lot, Kai

Sorry but if the link has to be hidden through Bitly I'm not interested.

You likely have some firewall/anti-malware software that doesn't like it.
If my anti-virus doesn't like it, then neither do I.
 
Sorry, I started the survey, but it asked an essay question first, and i was not able to think of an answer. Perhaps I have too much expereince over too many years, but the nature of the question seemed to assume that there really did exist a simple answer. The survey did not allow me to skip the question, so I quit.
 
Same here, I did answer all the questions. But to be honest it is not easy to say if something did happen to me ever as I started diving in 1968. And yes when we were young and stupid, things happened more often. And then at the end is the question diving experience and it says as the highest amount of dives more than 100. That is not experienced, that is a beginner....
And the question if I ever ran out of oxygen, that is a question a non-diver would ask. We use compressed air or Nitrox as recreational divers.
It also passes by the new trend in "solo diving" The buddy system imho has always been overrated, so I went out on my own when my buddy was not feeling well indeed. But I do almost always dive with my wife as she is my spotter and keeps track of navigation while I film (I do however have a general idea of where I am and can navigate home when necessary. I do have a compass with me :)
And yes it has happened at certain sites that current blew me away from my buddy, but not often.
So these are a lot of questions to be answered about if anything has ever happened, but with so many dives in ones history there are occasions that things don't go as planned.
 
The surface interval questions did not match any of my tables.
