Diving Incident and Safety Resource Centre (DISRC)

The aim of the DISRC site is to provide a single focal point for all recreational (not commercial) diving. Whilst it excludes 'Commercial Diving Operations' it does include those divers who are 'At Work' such as recreational and technical dive instructors.

The site will provide links to:

* Incident reports, accident reports and incident data capture forms.
* Best practice information for diving and hyperbaric medicine and medical incident management.
* Reference & research materials pertaining to incident management, hyperbaric research, agency training standards, human factors research, in fact anything to do with improving diver and diving safety.

Where possible this information will be hosted on the DISRC server, but copyright and publication limitations might mean that reports are just hyperlinks off-site.

The site can be found at http://www.disrc.com
