Psychological safety is essential for building trust and fostering open communication in diving teams, yet creating it can be a challenge in high-pressure environments like open-water certification weekends. Helene Pellerine explores how leaders, particularly instructors, play a crucial role in setting the tone for a safe and supportive atmosphere where divers feel seen, heard, and free to share concerns or mistakes. By modeling openness, responding non-judgmentally to questions, and encouraging reflection, instructors can instill these values in students, who can then carry them into future diving experiences. While psychological safety can be nurtured in small moments, it requires ongoing effort to sustain and must be prioritized for safe and enjoyable dives.
