This term is used all over the media and heavily on the accidents and incidents section of this board.
A near miss is a hit. Look, they nearly missed. Should be called a near hit...nearly missing implies that you hit.
This very topic was discussed by my very good friend George Carlin. Something along the lines of, 'Look Dave, those planes nearly missed' after they collided.

Also, why I'm in the mood...isn't the term underwater kind of odd? When we Scuba dive we are not underwater, we are in the water.....underwater would be below the ocean floor.
Something to think about it.
