Abstract
The analysis of accidents with divers in the Soviet Union, the Russian Federation and foreign countries was performed. According to studies by different authors, the death rate due to accidents while diving among the population of professional divers is from 0.1 to 2% per year. In recent years, more and more injuries during sports and recreational diving are observed. Factors contributing to accidents while diving are summarized.
