So, what is this point then? That these people wouldn't have died if GUE trained? That the two VERY experienced UK divers who persished this year wouldn't have died if they had done Fundies?
The sheer numbers of dives done in the UK will always produce fatalites, but a single agency is not the answer. It is not the be all and end all and when - not if - we see the first fatality from the training agency you seem convinced will solve it all I am sure we will hear disgraceful cries of "I told you so" from some quarters. I will not be amongst those who do this, but please don't think that training is an antidote to human behaviour. Hjman behaviour will always break through and circumstance beyond control of man can, and do, occur.
