Richard, can I suggest a modification or two?
Could you add a bit, or better yet a separate form, to deal with actual injury? I'm thinking of DCS mainly but there is no reason why other injuries (hypothermia, puncture wounds etc) couldn't be covered. You already have suitable forms being a doc, all I would add is something I've alluded to in another thread; a section allowing the choice of which dive tables or computer was used.
Then we will start to get statistics on which tables/computers have been used or misused and for what depths and types of diver. It maybe that some tables are more appropriate for CCR than others for example. We don't know currently either way.
Any chance? Or should this be something we do on RBW Stuart?
(Apologies if this has been done elsewhere and I've just not looked hard enough...
