Safe is a good idea, dave. I like safe, especially when I fly.
Why settle for half-measures? Let's just outlaw recreational diving, and every one of us will be SO much safer -- as a bonus, we'll have less reason to get on an airplane....

Of course there are. And I'm very glad that for the most part each of us has the freedom to decide for ourselves what our risk threshold is.
Emergency Position Indication Radio Beacons (EPIRBs). Just a reminder from the USCG that the Class A and Class B type of these EPIRBs is prohibited from use in both commercial and recreational watercraft effective Jan. 1, 2007. These beacons operate on the 121.5 and 243 MHz Emergency (Guard) frequency for Commercial and Military Aircraft. I don't think anyone is in US could buy one (new) now, but I'm not sure about the rest of the world. Here is a link to USCG website that I think civilians can access to get more information on EPIRBs.
For those outside USA YMMV

It isn't all that safe especially if you aren't very good at it."

Thanks, never heard that before. I think you'll find the same standards apply everywhere. Whether they're enforced? - now that's another matter.
