As long as the student is giving the teacher a grammar lesson,
fatalities is correct, not fatalaties (my oversight).

Your mistakes (and I'll bet you tried hard, didn't you):

1) crab-eaten, not crab eaten bodies,

2) "Myths and Realities" not "realities,"

3) "not" is correct.  The quoted phrase was an ending to a sentence
by Volker,

4) Oh yeah, one more little error here "Doc."  not "Doc".

Nice try, but it looks like YOU need to go back to school.  As for
the message in my post, all correct.  And I do not consider skin
bends, or any bends, to be minor, especially when recurrent.  My
guess is that MANY of you deep sea idiots have had incidents like
Capt JT's (BTW he does spell it Capt JT, not Capt. JT).
