Along the lines of the recent discussion on analyzing hypothetical (or not) problem scenarios, I am interested in reading more real incident reports -- injuries, fatalities, or "near-misses". I have the DAN 1992 accident report, as well as several issues of AquaCorps and the "Safety First" technicalDIVER. I am looking for any more recent information on diving accidents, especially those involving advanced/tech diving -- wrecks, caves, "deep" (below ~100'), deco, whatever. In other words, I'm not too interested right now in Joe Vacation Diver who gets in the water for the first time in five years and realizes he forgot how to swim. So... Can anyone give me sources of further information? I know the cave diving community does pretty well with this; anyone know if there is a comparable repository for, say, wreck diving incidents? Will DAN release incident reports before publication of their annual report? I don't need statistical analyses or anything (and I don't intend to do any myself), just an idea of "what happened" in each case, what the diver was trying to do, and perhaps what their experience and training background was. If anyone has any personal stories they wouldn't mind relating, that would be appreciated as well. --tab -- Tracey Baker tab@pa*.co* "I don't think safety is the main issue here...
