"with knowledge comes more security"...

Absolutely.. and to piggyback on your statement about people diving in without proper training, I think a lot of that is due to the internet.. ANYTHING you can think of to do has videos of people doing it on youtube.. people see the videos, half feel in seeing the videos they actually done the event, the other half wanna do it, but not put in the effort to do it correctly, anymore.. Its a me-first, immediate satisfaction type world now.. there's no time to actually learn it properly - just watch some vids and jump right in..

I know I try to make my videos look like diving is easy and risk-free.. I think most videographers do.. some people take that literally and think they can do it.. some people die trying.. Having said that, I wonder how long before somebody gets sued because they posted a home video making a dangerous activity look easy and somebody got killed trying to jump right in and do it with proper training or equipment?
