BSAC 2007 Annual Incident Report available online

For divers outside BSAC and UK this might be interesting, there are several Rebreather incidents listed (just to keep things on topic) see- http://www.bsac.org/uploads/document...ual_Report.pdf

Reading it almost always generates as many questions as it answers and there are numerous bits of statistical analysis and graphs that show information you don't always know what to do with.... but its always a sobering read.

Thanks Ben.

I find when reading this that I try and put myself in the place of the divers involved, and think what would I have done in that situation.

A very sobering read indeed.

I haven't read it all yet, but rebreather divers do look rather too well represented in the fatalities section.

Be Careful people!
