If you work the Norwegian side of the N S you won't get 30 days in the bin Stew that's why I stated '20k-ish'. You are wrong to equate numbers of divers in the GoM with fatalities, its all about working practices and theirs are the most dangerous ie live-boating on surface gas and very deep air dives. Its up to the indevidual to make up their own minds regarding whether the GoM is worth the risk... personally I give it a wide berth and will until they get some kind of HSE going there.
