I blame a lot of the incidents on the diseases called "life" and "being human." People die, especially older, overweight, unfit people, whether they are divers or not. I see people diving that I wonder how they ever got their C-card and nothing ever happens to them. On the other hand, several experienced, "expert" (for lack of a better word) divers have died in this area that I know of and no one can figure out what happened. Many people who are older, overweight, and have health problems are apt to have a heart attack, whether they are underwater or on land. Being selfish, if I die of a heart attack, I'd like to have it happen while I'm enjoying a beautiful dive, rather than standing in line at Publix or cleaning my house.
Are all car accidents the result of lowered standard's in driver's ed training? People have accidents, most of which can be avoided. But that's why they are called "accidents." There are various reasons for them, and smart people have them, too, not just idiots. The same holds true for diving accidents. S**t happens.
