Divers who are not focused on the dive cannot be responsive to a dive buddy or to the surrounding conditions. Good mental focus allows divers to truly enjoy dives as they remain aware of their surroundings and are prepared to intercede before problems escalate. Poor focus, on the other hand, tends to exacerbate problem. For example, losing focus on a dive can allow teams to miss proper air supply turn points, drift into dangerous areas or separate from their buddies. Proper awareness consistently increases the safety, efficiency and enjoyment of all diving activities.
