I think it would be hard to compare dives done up north to the
dives in Flordia. There is no doubt in my mind that there are more
dives done in Flordia on any given day than the number of dives done
up north in a week. It might be true that there are more dives done in
one month in Flordia than all year up north. And don't think about
comparing the OPEN WATER dives you wreck
k divers do compared to cave
dives where you have an overhead the whole time your diving. That's
not to say that wreck diving is not dangerous, but to compare
fatalities between open water wreck diving and cave diving is nuts and
may put wreck divers on the losing end. Also, there are a lot of north
wreck divers that come to Flordia to die in our caves. Whos body count
would that go to. I think Frank said it best when he said the deaths
we do have are too many.
