Abstract

The effect of underwater escape training was analysed among 78 participants at the Norwegian Underwater Technological Center (NUTEC), Bergen, in a psychophysiological study. The training caused significant physiological activation. Perceived training effect was found to be inversely related to anxiety during training. Most of the participants developed a positive response outcome expectancy and increased confidence in flying. The learning aspects were versatile and partly dependent on personality factors. A more individualized approach to training is recommended.
