CDF IRAP
Posting Guidelines
An "incident" is a substantial breakdown in a dive plan that ultimately puts members of the dive team at risk. The factors relating to incidents have been broken down into four major categories: general, breathing gas, guide line and equipment. Additional information requested includes information about the reporting diver, and the dive itself.
The incident posting consists of two parts, required fields and optional fields. The required fields consist of basic incident information, while the optional fields consist of the fields relating to the factors, dive and diver. While this information is not mandatory, incuding it will ultimately be the only way to provide meaningful analysis of an incident. The only information that will be published verbatim is the incident title, narrative and date reported. All other information will only be used for summary analysis.
Please keep in mind the following guidelines when writing narratives.
-just the facts please. A sensational story is not as important as meaningful thoughts.
-do not make reference to any specific person, either by name or initials.
-do not make reference to any specific training agency or dive organization.
-be honest in your incident assessments.
-if you had to do it all over again, what would you do differently?
All incident reports will be reviewed by CDF staff prior to publication. The CDF Staff and Moderators reserve the right to review, suppress, edit and/or remove any reports.
