I am looking for any more recent information on diving accidents...
There are two studies being conducted in Australia on diving related
accidents/incidents. Unfortunately these studies don't discriminate
between the 'level' of the diving or the divers. You'd have to look
through the reports to extract the information you think is relevant
to advanced/tech diving.
The first, and longest running is Project Stickybeak which looks at
diving fatalities. As far as I can tell it is really the work of
one local diving doctor, Doug Walker. He publishes summaries (annually?)
in the SPUMS (South Pacific Underwater Medicine Society?) journal. I don't
have a contact for Doug Walker to hand, but Rob Cason (rcason@oz*.co*.au*)
usually lurks on this list and could put you in touch with him.
The second is the Diving Incident Monitoring Study, being conducted by
Chris Acott, a doctor with the Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine Unit of
Royal Adelaide Hospital. He reports summaries occasionally in DiveSafe
(the newsletter of the Diver Emergency Service, the Australian DAN
equivalent). This study has only been running a few years now.
Last address I had for this study was
