Unhappy Are boat / diver incidents becoming "less uncommon"?
Are we having a recent "rash" of incidents, or are boat / diver incidents becoming "less uncommon"?

(note , I may have mixed up the two folloing locations)

I believe (3rd hand) there was an incident up at The Farnes a few weeks ago where a really unlucky diver was hit by the prop of a boat (not his) and had his leg taken off at the knee and his other foot taken off.

Also chatting to a mate: some of his mates were diving at St Abbs a couple of weeks ago. Towards the end of their stops under dsmbs, a Cat went over them and took all 4 dsmbs! Fortunately all were OK - some finished their deco "free".

I'm not sure there are more incidents. I think we have lost about 12 divers so far this year.

Last year was 25 according to the BSAC incident reports.

I think it's just because we hear more about it.

Are divers becoming less uncommon?

Are there more people learning to dive and getting in UK waters.
