INTRODUCTION
An individual case review of known diving-related deaths that occurred in Australia in 2012 was conducted.
METHOD
The case studies were compiled using statements from witnesses and reports of the police and coroners. In each case, the particular circumstances of the accident and details from the post-mortem examination, where available, are provided.
RESULTS
There were 26 reported fatalities (four less than the previous year). Only two of the victims were female (one snorkeller and one scuba diver). Fourteen deaths occurred while snorkelling and/or breath-hold diving, 11 while scuba diving and one diver died while using surface supplied breathing apparatus in a commercial pearl diving setting. Two breath-hold divers likely drowned as a result of apnoeic hypoxia. Cardiac-related issues were thought to have contributed to the deaths of at least three and possibly seven snorkellers and four scuba divers.
CONCLUSIONS
Pre-existing medical conditions; poor organisation, planning and supervision; equipment-related problems; snorkelling or diving alone or with loose buddy oversight and apnoeic hypoxia were features in several deaths in this series.
引言
对2012年在澳大利亚发生的已知与潜水相关的死亡事件进行了个案审查。
方法
通过证人陈述以及警方和验尸官的报告汇编案例研究。在每个案例中，均提供了事故的具体情况以及尸检结果（若有）的详细信息。
结果
报告的死亡人数为26人（比上一年少4人）。受害者中只有两名女性（一名浮潜者和一名水肺潜水员）。14人在浮潜和/或屏气潜水时死亡，11人在水肺潜水时死亡，一名潜水员在商业采珠潜水环境中使用水面供气式呼吸器时死亡。两名屏气潜水员可能因窒息性缺氧而溺水。心脏相关问题被认为至少导致了三名浮潜者、可能七名浮潜者以及四名水肺潜水员的死亡。
结论
在该系列的几起死亡事件中，存在的既往病史、组织、规划和监督不善、与设备相关的问题、独自浮潜或潜水或同伴监督不力以及窒息性缺氧等情况较为突出。
