For accidents, BSAC (British Sub Aqua Club) publishes a free annual incident report.
Annual Diving Incident Report
A good read for a new potential diver and may give some ideas.
In much of this data will be small, as the number of issues is often small, and the number of dives is often unknown. As I do not tell some central agency every time I go diving, my training level, or my current practices. I think DAN has had some efforts to encourage such reporting, for accident rate reporting.
For environment, Reef Check and Reef Check California is other citizen scientist organizations using divers to collect data.
Reef Check - Saving Reefs Worldwide
They have some multi year data on their site about the number of sitings of various indicator species in the marine environment.
One recent issues was sea star wasting disease.
