Diving Related Fatalities Resource
The coronial documents relating to diving fatalities in Australian waters up to and including 1998 have been deposited by Dr Douglas Walker for safe keeping in the National Library of Australia, Canberra. Accession number for the collection is: MS ACC 03/38.
These documents have been the basis for the series of reports previously printed in this Journal as Project Stickybeak. They are available free of charge to bona fide researchers attending the library in person, subject to an agreement regarding anonymity.
It is hoped that other researchers will similarly securely deposit documents relating to diving incidents when they have no further immediate need of them. Such documents can contain data of great value for subsequent research. |
