Early Sunday morning, clocks will get set back one hour to complete the time-honored tradition of daylight saving time and some research says this may be dangerous for divers.
A study by AAA finds the end of daylight saving time increases chances of divers getting into a motor vehicle accident.
AAA says when daylight fades and darkness comes earlier in the day, motor vehicle and pedestrian crashes spike.
In order to avoid crashes, AAA says drivers should leave spaces between cars, check for pedestrians and adjust speed in low-light conditions.
