Why is there a difference in how "good" dive accident reports were "back in the day" and today?
I have not seen a decent dive accident report in a long time... even though there have been plenty of accidents/deaths.

Yea, that's all we really need. There is nothing to learn from the last 10 deaths or so anyways... They all made stupid mistakes... according to the experts online...

I guess we could just blame everything on medicals?
#1 Rule of accident analysis is to try and blame it on medical issues.
#2 rule is if #1 isn't possible, try to blame it on training (Example- divers diving in a full cave + 100 dives system who die due to not being able to manage their valves are diving beyond their training, even though the skill that was the issue, was taught in basic cave-- or should have been).
#3, and final rule, is to tell everyone to wait for the official report out of respect, and then not release it.
Please e-mail me a copy too.
I am amazed how much interest there is in this.
Thank you, Just finished reading the one you sent me earlier. Living in PA for a little while, I knew of the systems mentioned in the report, although I never visited them.
Hope fully people can use this as a learning/teaching tool.

Fortunately for us unenlightened we have fellas like you superbugman and jj1987 to give us clarity. Thank you.
