Hi Ayisha, I think there's something wrong with your link. This one works for me: Top Six Safety Tips

Great article, it analyzes some reason findings by DAN about common issues that result in diving fatalities. The usual suspects: insufficient gas, wrong gas, imbalanced rig, etc. Then provides some practical advice about how to manage these risk factors.

Thank you, the link was originally working but the page got moved in the first few minutes it went up. Fixed now, thanks.
 
Really just back to basics or what should have been taught and reinforced in training

It's true that it should all be from basic training, and it will be even more sad if the new research they're working on shows the same issues in more recent fatalities.

OTOH, if the takeaways of the article are considered to be from mainstream o/w courses, it shows how much the concepts of a balanced rig, streamlining, analyzing every tank, team diving, pretty much minimum gas, cardiovascular fitness to dive, aquatic comfort and swimming skills, etc. have in some ways come back to or infiltrated mainstream o/w training - at least on SB.
