This table provides fatality rates per 100,000 DAN-insured divers per year, broken down by age group and sex. The timeframe is annual, assuming active diving participation among insured members (typically more committed divers). Note that rates of 0 indicate no fatalities recorded in the study sample for that group, but actual risk may be small rather than zero.
