Accident Analysis II

[WEPIV]

After my last post I decided to go to an old AquaCorps website that I found years ago. While looking it over I saw where this same topic was being discussed years ago and Sheck even weighed-in on it.

Um, I think the OP was referring to the Internet as a training agency, in particular another dive forum.

Okay mods...shut 'er down.

That would be correct. I stopped posting along time ago , so I wouldn't be an influence on others. This would be my second post today , so it's time to fadeout for another year.


I hope nobody minds if I come here to read.

Thanks

The problem I see is that with PADI there "may" be 1 in 5,000 certified divers who actually dive and it is probably fewer than that, maybe 1 in 10,000. In the case of NSS-CDS or NACD certified divers, I believe a much larger percentage are still active divers.

We may not be able to have a correlation between accidents and agencies, but it would be interesting to see what the rate of people who go on with diving and taking higher classes might be with the different agencies versus the ones who never dive after there open water class.

Very good article. I particularly liked Gary Gentile's submission.

Sobering, and chilling. Sheck's entry, especially so for me.
