In the last 12 years, at least 21 diving liveaboards have caught fire, capsized, hit an object, or run aground. Several incidents have led to death, the most disastrous being Santa Barbara's Conception, with 36 lost souls. Our Report describes these disasters, and we've added a special section on the 2001 Belize Wave Dancer hurricane catastrophe, which led to the death of 17 members of a Richmond, Virginia, dive club and three crew members. And it includes three that have happened this year.

• Our goal is to inform divers so they may make safe choices and be prepared,
