No. Regardless of the acuracy of the reported injuries and deaths, no one
knows how many dives have been done without injury or death.
There is no way to find this number out.
For example, since I dive, and no one has contacted me for my dive
statistics, any claim of accuracy in an injury per dive number is false,
since it doesn't include my dives. Have you been contacted? Then is
doesn't include your dives, either.
Therefore, it's not possible to calculate an injuries-per-dive or a
fatality-per-dive, unless the scope is limited to a controlled set. (For
instance, in WKPP, the injuries per dive are XX, or off the Belize
Aggressor, the fatalities per dive between the dates of Jan 1, 1997 and
Jan 1, 1998, were YY.)
Actually, I see problems with both those statements, too, but the answer
to your question is "No".
