Scuba diving may be an inherently risky activity, but with proper precautions and equipment, most people who learn and practice scuba diving do so without incident. As with any other water sport, there are safe ways to scuba dive and there are dangerous ways to do it. A novice scuba diver will naturally depend on the instructions and guidance of whatever scuba diving school or equipment rental operation they are doing business with. More experienced scuba divers should know how to inspect their own equipment, but to a large extent rely on manufacturers and maintenance businesses to do their job right.
Attorneys of Boyle, Autry & Murphy have personal experience with scuba diving as well as a track record of successful outcomes on behalf of people injured in scuba diving accidents and family members of fatality victims. We are well aware of safe scuba diving regulations. We know there are many causes of scuba diving accidents — and rarely is the cause a completely "freak accident" such as a shark attack. When we investigate a scuba or snorkeling accident case, we typically discover some type of human error. We also find that police and other official investigators often know less about scuba diving than we do.
