I have checked the "Dead list" from the aquanaut archive to the best of 
my ability.  I may not be searching it correctly.  So, if these figures 
are incorrect, please tell me the search criteria that you are using so 
that I can access the relevant information.  I find a listing of 6 
deaths that have been attributed to deep air.  From this list, one died 
in 1985, one died in 1991, and 4 died in 1992.  However, these listings 
do not answer my question.  First, were these individuals TDI certified?  
I doubt it.  It is my understanding that TDI was not formed until 1994.  
(I could be wrong though, for I do not have this information in front of 
me.  But I am sure that TDI did not exist as a training agency in the 
1980's.) Even if I am incorrect in this assertion, it is not stated in 
this list whether they were TDI certified.  My question stands: Is there 
a statistical correlation between scuba diving deaths and TDI 
certification?  If so, please respond with factual information from a 
reputable agency that compiles such figures.
