A 20-year analysis of compressed gas diving-related deaths in Tasmania, Australia.

CONCLUSIONS: This 20-year study highlighted regional variations for Tasmanian deaths and presents opportunities for strategies to prevent diving deaths in the future. Of particular concern was the diving practice of 'hookah' diving, which has no governing regulations. The study highlighted the importance of applying a structured methodology such as chain of events analysis to scrutinise diving deaths. PMID: 30856664 [PubMed - in process]
