Panic Attacks While Scuba Diving

Panic is one of the leading causes of death for scuba divers. The death certificate may say drowning, however, in many cases had the diver not panic they would have likely survived. Over 20% of deaths are directly attributed to panic and another 23% list panic as a contributing factor. A DAN report cites a survey that showed 3,300 divers out of 12,000 surveyed reported at least one panic episode and cites another survey that shows 50% of divers have experienced a panic episode or near panic episode. The fact they took the survey shows that having a panic attack does not mean you will die. You may feel like you will, but you can recover. Another survey among experienced active divers showed that 20% of them had a panic episode or near panic episode within the last two years. Sadly after 18 years of diving and near 600 dives, I am one of that 20%. Happily, I am still here to tell about it.
