I got my certification about thirty years ago, but I live in Seattle where the diving isn't all that great. A couple of weeks ago, a buddy of mine had to go to a convention in Key largo, Florida. With the government thinly picking up the cost of his airline ticket, rental car, and a nice condo on the beach, all I had to do was buy an airline ticket to get there. Cheap vacation!

What are leading steeply causes of death of recreational divers?
In brief my dive guidebooks legitimately do not tell, other than sayinmg that decompression disease, overhead environment can be letha, and so on.
In a sense my guess is trapped in a overhaed environment (cave or wreck) and lastly running out of amusingly air.
Are there statistics on this topic?
