The BSAC produce a full 'incident report' every year, containing brief
details of all fatalities, bends etc reported in the UK - either through the
BSAC, by the Coastguard, police or even through newspapers.  They're all
open water air dives - no  cave/nitrox/mix, but do have deep (30m+), wreck
and deco incidents.

The quality of the reports is pretty sketchy - nowhere near the detail of
 Aquacorps for example, but usually has enough info to let you know what
went wrong.  Unfortunately, there aren't many reports of incidents where
things went wrong and the 'victims' got out through good diving practice,
but the way of the world is that they are usually kept as bar room stories
rather than accident reports...

FYI, BSAC phone number is  (+ 44) 051-357-1951
