I do not know about the ratio of accidents, but some of the best divers 
I have dives with are women. Jim Bowden uses more women as support 
divers than men, because on long rough trips them seem to remain more 
relaxed. 
Women may not be as physcially strong as a man but they are quite 
good(providing they just as men remain in good physcial condition)on 
endurance.
