The Annual Diving Incident Report contains details of UK diving incidents occurring to divers from all agencies and backgrounds, plus incidents occurring worldwide involving BSAC members.
The report analyses the background to the incidents and over many years BSAC and other UK based training agencies have constantly revised and updated their training programmes and safety guidance based on the report.
Agencies and organisations take into account developing technology and address training issues highlighted by incident analysis. BSAC monitor and report on diving incidents in the interest of promoting diving safety. The collection of incident information is central to understanding trends in diving safety.
