    The only fatality I've registered here lately was on Nov. 27th. A diver got stuck and drowned while inspecting a freshwater intake at some factory.

    I'm aware of 5 more deaths this year - one shallow depth rebreather failure and two fairly odd double fatalities involving Polish and Danish divers.

    The rebreather involved was a Mark IV Discovery eCCR. Poseidon investigated the accident and concluded that the diver had submerged without completing a successful pre-dive check and eventually ran out of power at 4 msw.

    The accident report is available here:
