In the event of a diving accident, the NAUI Accident Report should be sent to _____.

The NAUI Accident Report is a critical document designed to provide detailed information following a diving incident. It is specifically intended to be sent to NAUI's attorney to ensure that all legal aspects are appropriately addressed and that the information is handled within the legal framework relevant to diving accidents. This allows NAUI to manage any potential liabilities and to gather necessary data to improve safety practices. The involvement of an attorney helps to ensure that the content of the report is protected under attorney-client privilege, which is vital in legal situations that may arise from diving accidents.

Sending the report to the diving instructor or local authorities does not ensure the legal protections afforded by consulting with legal counsel. While it may be valuable for instructors to be informed, the legal implications necessitate that the necessary documentation goes to those who can address them correctly and with due diligence. Similarly, reporting to a diving insurance provider may be required for claims, but it does not address the comprehensive legal implications or oversight that NAUI requires following an accident.
