 | Stephen Weir
Coordinator, Incident Reports
Stephen has been writing for Diver Magazine for 30 years. He also writes for the Toronto Sun and the Toronto Star and handles PR tasks for Caribana and other cultural events.
Stephen has assisted the OUC many times over the years. He used to handle the publicity for Underwater Canada.
Stephen has been collecting fatality reports for over a decade and, for his own personal study, has been working on a Google map, placing all of the dive deaths of 2010 on a map with information on the age, level of training, type of diving, etc for each victim.
Stephen feels strongly that it helps divers to know why people die diving and that it is important to separate diving deaths from deaths while diving.
As well it is vital, that agencies such as the OUC can use this data when making health and safety recommendations to the government, training agencies and clubs.
