From tstormdiver: I can not say I agree with your statement that most diving deaths are attributed to medical issues.
I was just reading a dive boat Captains trip report on a NJ forum and he commented that most problems are medical but this year he has seen 3 equipment failures right after they had been serviced! NJ diving is deep, dark and your buddy is usually out of sight, this is why NJ boats require a pony set-up.
This is the reason I do shallow local dives with the gear before a trip, they are most likely to fail right after service, not with a hundred dives on them. Again, don’t get to complacent with your gear or skills.
