Finally! The biggest risk in diving is revealed.

[Trace Malinowski]

I first became introduced to risk analysis and management in diving when I learned of the 5 Rules of Accident Analysis for cave diving during my NACD cavern and intro to cave course. As the training director for 2 agencies, it became important that I stay up to date on diving incidents and accidents and such knowledge was a core component of my cave classes and the PSAI TEAM (Technical Emergency Analysis & Management) course. This futher interest led me to become a consultant on risk management in the dive industry.

After analyzing data from sport, tech, cave, freediving and rebreather accidents, I have concluded that the biggest personal risk in diving is ... SNARKY ATTACKS in social media. Thank you. I'm here all week.

Funny, yet true.

Biggest risk... probably yes.
Problem? Probably not, cause DAN probably covers any potential injuries to egos...

This makes me happy that I deleted Facebook

I thought it was tripping while wearing doubles. Who knew?

Doubles or not, you are not supposed to fill them with any gases that send you tripping ...

Like a set of 3000 psi 100 cu. ft. double tanks filled with nitrous oxide.

Snarky attacks still happen even without social media. It just makes it spread faster

... SNARKY ATTACKS in social media

So you're saying solo diving is safer???

That would probably be funny if I knew what a SNARKY Attack was. SB is the closest I get to social media.

I've learned that the block button makes my time on FB so much more pleasant. I use it prolifically. I use the ignore button a little bit here too, but you have to be pretty rude to a number of people (not just me) to make me use that.
