I don't quarrel with the gross number of deaths attributed to technical
diving has been increasing. I wonder, however, how the number of deaths
per dives has been changing. I don't propose to know the answer, but it
is certainly possible that the death rate (deaths per dive) is going
down, which I would expect due to improved equipment and better training
(or at least more widely available training), while the absolute number
of deaths increases. Do you think DAN might be able to get a handle on
this?

Blow gentle bubbles,
