Just A Little Rant!

Why is it the mainstream media always misrepresents the facts when an accident occurs diving? Too many times I've heard "That man died of a diving accident!" When in fact it was cardiac related. When someone dies on a basketball court nobody says "Oh Basketball killed that man!"


What should be asked is "should the gentlemen who is rounder than he is tall be diving in water that cold?" Or "is that ow diver qualified to dive on that 100 foot wreck?"

When you look at the anatomy of a "dive accident" the cause is all too often a lack of experience or physical fitness and not that our beloved sport is dangerous!

  1. I agree. The diver would have just as likely died brushing his/her teeth.
