    According to a recent study, accidents due to a delta P (differential pressure) are the single most common cause of fatal accidents in the commercial diving sector. For the most part, commercial divers are aware of this phenomenon, but unfortunately many of them seem to underestimate this risk. No less than 127 such accidents occurred between 1975 and the end of 2014 and delta P incidents are usually fatalities. All sectors of commercial diving have exposure to delta P, but the civil engineering divers (inshore), pay the highest price.   Make no mistake - accidents due to differential pressure are not “fate” or “bad luck” and in most cases the accidents that have occurred could have been avoided. This short guide is intended to highlight what delta P is and the ways to protect divers from it.
