Speaking as somebody who likes to wear tight leather suits as much as tight neoprene wets suits, I'd have to go with scuba being safer. Sadly, my evidence is based on a greater number of deaths amongst a smaller number of motorcycling friends than with diving.
As you can see from the pic I'm more of a track addict than a cruiser, but part of the thrill of my motorcyling hobby (and definitely hobby as well as transport) is riding so close to the edge that mere milliseconds of error is enough to smear you across the next available tree.
Obviously road riding is different, but the roads one is subject to the vagaries of human uselessness in a way that is almost never present in diving. I consider track riding to be a reasonably extreme form of sport. I consider road riding risky. I consider that diving has obvious risks, but it's about as extreme as watching TV.
Safe riding and diving,
C.
