In this edition of Let’s Talk About Diving, meet Chiara Ferri.
A physician specialized in Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine and a psychotherapist, Chiara works as Medical Director at DAN Europe Foundation, supporting diving emergencies, conducting research, and helping divers better understand the factors that influence safety underwater.
Her work explores a fascinating question: how do stress, anxiety, emotions, and risk perception affect the decisions we make beneath the surface?
At Diving Talks 2026, Chiara will bring together medicine, psychology, and real-world diving experience to help us better understand the human factors that influence diver performance, wellbeing, and safety.
🎥 Watch her introduction video and tell us: What do you think is the biggest psychological challenge divers face underwater?
"Let’s Talk About Diving" is a speaker introduction series leading up to Diving Talks 2026, where some of the most respected voices in the underwater world come together to share ideas, stories, and inspiration.
