Diving is like driving. Safe driving is super important. The level of safety preparedness depends what type of driving your are doing. Like driving, you internalize safety over time. If you scuba dive a lot, you will worry less. If you are doing typical recreational diving with no deco, it is very safe. If you are going deep/cave/tech the risks go up very quickly and safety needs to be a primary concern. Just like ATV driving, racing or motocross or any other sport driving the risk goes up.
Unlike driving in bad weather, dive conditions can be deceptive, so planning and knowledge of the area requires extra consideration. I don't believe diving should be ruled by fear, but by good judgement.
