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.
