Incident Reporting
The sport of Scuba Diving involves immersion in an environment that traditionally does not support human life. We are also using bigger and faster boats and exploring parts of our coastline where few venture.
The risks in our sport are inherent and we must strive to make the standards safer for all. Incident 
reports have been recorded by CFT for many years and the lessons learnt from these incidents and near misses are important to CFT and of course to each and every member. It allows us to spot new risks in diving and boating and feed this information back into our courses, and “Rules and Recommendations”. Our objectives with incident reporting are:
Learning from our mistakes
Sharing information
Identifying training needs
Identifying areas where equipment is likely to fail
With the publication of annual incident reports, members will have a greater awareness of these issues. It is the responsibility of each club’s Diving Officer to report an accident or a near miss in a timely manner.
Accidents and Near Misses do happen and very few divers can put their hand up and say they never had one.
You can email or post incident reports to
incidents@diving.ie
