TY - JOUR PY - 1995// TI - Scuba diving: how high the risk? JO - Journal of insurance medicine A1 - Smith, N. SP - 15 EP - 24 VL - 27 IS - 1 N2 - The host factors that represent the most risk for scuba-diving safety are poor fitness, overweight, chronic diseases, structural abnormalities of the heart and lungs, and multiple risk factors for CAD. Any of these factors, plus inexperience, a history of irresponsible behavior, or participation in technical diving should alert medical underwriting that a scuba diver has excess risk for fatal accidents.
