I Introduction
Background (history, context, situation)
Scuba diving ("SCUBA" is an acronym for self contained underwater breathing apparatus) is a form of underwater diving in which a diver uses a scuba set to breathe underwater. Unlike early diving, which relied either on breath-hold or on air pumped from the surface, scuba divers carry their own source of breathing gas, allowing them greater freedom of movement than with an air line.
Scuba diving may be performed for a number of reasons, both personal and professional. Most people start through recreational diving, which is performed purely for enjoyment and has a number of distinct technical disciplines to increase interest underwater, such as cave diving, wreck diving, ice diving and deep diving. Other specialist areas of diving include military diving, police, fire department, Lifeguard, Search and Rescue and Underwater survey/maintenance.
Statement of the Problem (what is the risk problem)
Scuba diving has many risks, and many dive related accidents are fatal. The proper level of training is key in how the risks effect each diver.
Purpose (Why conduct this analysis on Scuba Diving)
I run a dive shop and I am committed to ensuring that people dive safely. A big part of safe diving is making sire that each diver is aware of all the risks and has the proper training. I intend use the results of the risk analysis to make sure that everybody that wants to go on a dive trip is fully aware of the risks involved.
Literature review A wide variety of literature key to this topic have been conducted for this risk analysis study. The literature used ranges from personal knowledge(I am a scuba diver) to
