A Team Problem-Solving Exercise

What Is Underwater Adventure?

Underwater Adventure (UA) is a team problem-solving exercise that has been designed to facilitate team participation. It simulates a setting where individuals and teams make time-pressured decisions with limited information. Observe how risk aversion, information deprivation and pressure impact your team. Expose areas where teams can improve performance.

The Underwater Adventure Facilitator Guide and Participant Workbook are functional tools that will:

• Facilitate synergy
• Lead teams to effective solutions
• Expose risk aversion reactions
• Enhance team communication
• Facilitate team building
• Introduce the Advanced Team System (link to that section of Products Summary page?)

Underwater Adventure is a highly effective tool for the team’s “tool kit” that you should use often. You must purchase the Underwater Adventure Master Facilitator Guide before purchasing the participant workbooks.

How Does It Work?

Underwater Adventure presents a “Caribbean vacation” scenario during which you take a two-hour resort SCUBA course learning basic equipment and uses. While on a dive, you and your buddy are separated from the dive master and group when your buddy gets into a life-threatening situation. A safe rescue depends upon you. To survive, you must take five sequential actions out of sixteen possible choices. Individual choices are contrasted with Team choices.
Completion Time: 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours

Underwater Adventure Facilitator Guide includes a description of the facilitator’s role, answer sheets, and black and white masters for presentation overheads.

Underwater Adventure Participant Workbook is a four-page, full color exercise with a scenario and detailed instructions for a highly professional presentation. (minimum purchase of 10 workbooks per purchase)
