There is no such thing as a "scuba diving accident," it is a myth. Scuba diving "accidents" happen when divers follow bad diving practices, and scuba diving safety exists when divers follow good diving practices.
www.safediving.org gives information about the how and why of good diving practices, and their relationship to scuba diving safety.
