These are all the reports on scubaboard from October of last year till now (that I found) that resulted in death or severe injury for the diver while diving deeper than 100ft. All of them had an END greater than 100ft.
Interesting. A correlation of 1 between death/injury on a dive greater than 100ft, and an END of over 100ft.
There ya go, DCBC. Some statistics. How big of a sample size do you want? Do I need to post another list of 60+ names? How large does the body count need to go before this stuff stoped being TAUGHT? Thats my issue. Its taught to people. This guy died on a class where he was trusting his instructor to teach him how to dive safely to greater depths, and he died trying to learn that.
