DIVING INCIDENT REPORTS / RESEARCH PROTOTYPE
Diving incident explorer
Explore patterns across reports, compare groups and trace equipment observations back to evidence.
A new interface informed by the MDIR research.
96 fictional records. No real incident data.
01 / REPORT VOLUME—First to last year
02 / EQUIPMENT MIX—Open-circuit share

04 / GEOGRAPHY—Asia Pacific + Oceania share

Dots show separate reports. Dashed spans mark year-only dates; unknown depth sits below the scale.

Age at report
Coloured bars show the selection. Pale bars retain context with that chart’s own filter removed. “Unknown” is kept as a category.
EQUIPMENT OBSERVATIONS → DESIGN QUESTIONS
Follow the evidence through the product lifecycle.
Explore where an observation was recorded and where it may need review. Demonstration codes and proposed actions are kept separate from verified findings.
REVIEW DESTINATION
Where could the evidence inform a change?
These are authored review targets, not the stage where an incident happened. Counts do not describe a causal sequence or a flow of products.
COMPONENT × OBSERVATION PHASE
Locate the observation
Select a cell to inspect its reports. The matrix retains context with its component and phase filters removed. Unknown is an explicit category.
TRACEABLE REVIEW THREADS
From observation to a testable proposal
Each thread links demonstration reports to a review question, a proposed action and the evidence needed to evaluate it. No action is treated as accepted or effective.
AVIATION AS A DESIGN REFERENCE
Inspired by narrative-plus-coding in NASA ASRS and in-service equipment feedback in the FAA Service Difficulty Reporting System. This interface does not implement an aviation compliance workflow.
CONTROLLED VISUAL COMPARISON
Two groups. Shared scales. Visible assumptions.
Choose a preset or pin selections in Explore. Each group keeps its own definition.

Values & limits
Composition is not risk. Percentages use all reports in each group, including unknown values. No dive-hours, equipment-use or population denominator is available. These fictional groups cannot establish equipment effects or intervention effectiveness.
