Is a diver safe just because you follow all the rules. The technical answer is no. There is something called risk analyses. Can I reduce the risk of injury yes you can. If I make a dive to 230 fsw, is the risk greater than a dive to hundred, yes. Can I still make the dive to 230 with reduced risk, yes. The same applies if I do multiple dives in a 24 hr period with one table over another. Can I reduce my risk yes.
