DAN Europe maintains a database of injuries and deaths around the world (that involve their members only). Data is collected via calls to their medical hotline and insurance claims.
In 2018, for example, a total of 1,979 diving-related emergency cases were reported — 461 cases were related to suspected or confirmed DCI. We believe that Dominican Republic is a very safe country where to dive (based on these numbers and numbers of divers that visited the country in 2018)
