Whilst diving, doing other stuff or including from old age?

Garrobo, while that statistic is probably true, that's likely because many more people snorkel/swim than dive, so the numbers are skewed, unless it's deaths per 1000. Then I'm clueless.
(kind of like comparing number of people who die skydiving versus those who die in car accidents)

I read somewhere once that if a diver had a heart attack whilst diving it would listed as a diving fatality, which would be wrong. So any figures that exist will probably have some errors.
