I would like to know the statistical corellation between Deep Air Deaths and TDI certified divers in 1996 and 1997? In other words, how many people died diving deep on air in 1996 and '97 who were certified by TDI? Also, of the deaths associated with scuba diving in this same time frame, what is the percentage of this number that can be associated with Deep Air?? (Deaths occuring below 130ft on air?) >From owner-techdiver@aquanaut.com Thu Jan 15 19:35:21 1998 >Received: (mail@lo*) > by bighorn.terra.net (8.8.6/jr3.8) for > id VAA26543; Thu, 15 Jan 1998 21:09:21 -0500 >Precedence: bulk >Errors-To: owner-techdiver@aquanaut.com >Received: from bighorn.terra.net (root@lo*) > by bighorn.terra.net (8.8.6/jr3.8) with EXEC for techdiver > id VAA25778; Thu, 15 Jan 1998 21:01:09 -0500 >Message-Id: <199801160201.VAA25770@bi*.te*.ne*> >Received: from [206.246.204.137] ([206.246.204.137] (may be forged)) > by bighorn.terra.net (8.8.6/jr3.8) with ESMTP for <techdiver@aquanaut.com> > id VAA25770; Thu, 15 Jan 1998 21:01:08 -0500 >Received: from 206.246.204.142 by 206.246.204.137 > with SMTP (QuickMail Pro Server for MacOS 1.0.2); 15 JAN 98 21:00:55 UT >Subject: DeepTech >Date: Thu, 15 Jan 98 21:01:07 -0500 >x-sender: cobber@ma*.ci*.co* >x-mailer: Claris Emailer 2.0v2, June 6, 1997 >From: Jim Cobb <cobber@ci*.co*> >To: "Tech Diver" <techdiver@aquanaut.com>, "Cavers List" <cavers@ge*.co*> >Mime-Version: 1.0 >Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" > ><In my ongoing effort to save my fellow divers money, here is yet another >review of a lame dive magazine> > >Much to my surprise when I got home today what was in my mailbox?
