	Diving and Accident Statistics ASADA Registered Clubs are reminded that they need to produce diving and accident statistics for the calendar year (Jan - Dec 06). The return must include the total number of dives conducted and the total number of diving incidents. Diving expedition statistics should be submitted by Division SO2 PATs however, ASADA registered clubs are asked to provide these statistic in addition; dives conducted during expeditions and the incidents which took place on expeditions. These will then be collated to provide an overall total for Clubs across the three services to validate our safety record with organisations such as the HSE. The importance of these returns should not be underestimated and they are to be with the ASADA DO (do@asada.org.uk) by 31 Jan the following year.
