You can't do any simple math of this sort and get
meaningful results. Posters on this forum are not
representative of the diving population of California.
And there is no ability to control for the number of
dives made.
We do know that a signicicant chunk of the country's
solo divers and divers in general are within the state.
what it means is less clear.
I do know that we didn't have people dying left and right
in Monterey this past year, and the same diving styles
exist here.
Just let it go, people. Over 4000 of our state citizens
died in car accidents last year. Close to half involved
drunks.
