Letts Dive

June 10 Dive Club Meeting: The Incident Before the Incident

Every diver has a story, a close call, a missed warning sign, or a lesson learned.

Join us for an interactive discussion on dive safety, near misses, and the experiences that make us better divers.

New divers and seasoned “old salts” are all welcome, with experienced divers encouraged to share their knowledge and stories.

This is a chance to interact with divers that have been diving for decades 🤿 Don’t miss it✔️

See you on June 10th at 7pm.

🚨 THE INCIDENT BEFORE THE INCIDENT 🚨

What if the most important dive safety lesson isn't what happens during an accident—but what happens before it?

Join us at the next Letts Dive!! Dive Club meeting Wednesday, June 10, 2026, 7PM at the The Tavern at Bayboro on the USF St. Petersburg 6th Ave S., for a thought-provoking and interactive presentation:

THE INCIDENT BEFORE THE INCIDENT

How Small Decisions Become Big Problems

This is not a dive shop sales presentation.

This is not an agency-specific event.

This is a diver-to-diver discussion about recognizing the warning signs that often precede incidents and accidents.

Whether you're a newly certified Open Water Diver, a seasoned diver with thousands of dives, a Divemaster, or an Instructor, there is something valuable to learn—and share.

Drawing on nearly 60 years of diving experience, Capt. Joe Letts will lead an open discussion exploring how accidents rarely begin with a dramatic event underwater. More often, they begin with a missed detail, a rushed decision, complacency, poor communication, or a warning sign that was overlooked before the dive ever started.

We'll discuss:✅ Human factors in diving✅ The Swiss Cheese Model of accident prevention✅ Buddy checks and situational awareness✅ Real-world accident chains✅ Lessons learned from near misses✅ How to recognize and break the chain before an incident becomes an accident

Most importantly, we want to hear from YOU.

Bring your stories.

Bring your experiences.

Bring your lessons learned.

Because every diver in the room has something to teach, and every diver in the room has something to learn.

Our goal is simple: to elevate the awareness level of everyone who attends. If we can create an environment where divers openly share experiences and lessons learned, then maybe—just maybe—we can help prevent an accident in the future.

And if that accident happens to be yours, or that of a dive buddy, family member, or friend, then the evening will have been well worth it.

The best diving accident is the one that never happens.

Join us for an evening of discussion, learning, and community.
