Abstract
Six commercial divers were investigated for anxiety responses during a 29-day, open-sea world record dive at 500 meters of depth. Three of s ix (50%) divers developed anxiety. The authors emphasize the importanc e of research on personality traits as possible predictors for the dev elopment of anxiety during deep dives of exceptional depth and duratio n of confinement.
