Diving is unavoidably a dangerous sport but the risks can be minimised by taking proper training with an organisation such as BSAC or PADI, diving to your own limits and comfort levels (i.e. do not push yourself to dive to 50m if you are not trained to do so), be sensible.
As a BSAC member in the UK I only have access to those figures but in 2010 there were 17 fatalities in the UK.
Sorry that I don't have the exact percentage of chance but the chances are very small in relation to the number of people who Scuba dive.
So take training (if you haven't already) and be sensible and you can reduce the risk.

Do you have to be a certain weight or body type to be a scuba diver?
No, you don't need a certain body type to scuba dive. Because you use flippers to SCUBA dive, you can be a very lousy swimmer and learn to SCUBA dive. You may look stupid with a very tight wet suit during scuba diving, but you can dive. When I got certified, I learned that you have a very slightly higher chance of the Bends during scuba diving, but this is a small percentage. The pros of scuba diving outweigh the cons.
