He dived the same place a few days/weeks before where he saw the "remains" of a diver lost many years ago. Then went back to recover the remains. Now there are 2 sets of remains down there. very sad

@scubaengineering sorry but it doesnt matter how much he 'trained' for this,the word that comes to mind is stupid.it doesnt matter how 'professional' he was.blah,blah,blah.humans have this delusional idea about doing dumb things and calling them 'brave'.dumb species we are.

Its always sad to lose a fellow diver...being a police diver I recover remains all the time so I can see why he was taking time. I myself most likely would have arranged the body to just inflate the BC and let it rise.

@scubaengineering no he got entangled
-
Both bodies have been recovered now. RIP
-
@scubaengineering Fair enough, fair enough. No disrespect intended!
-
here's a tip, don't dive to deadly shitholes.

@corryv I know this was a bit ago, but but bodies did float to the surface just in case you didnt know

Every time I see this vid my heart rate goes through the ceiling... Maybe he had to bag the body because it was so decayed it was not towable in one piece? I don't know, but trying to do it @ 270m is a bit too much on the crazy side in my opinion.

@taylorsantajulia Dave Shaw was a professional in other complex fields at the highest level. We can be sure that Dave would have thoroughly rehersed and prepared for both the dive and the body recovery exercise in shallower waters before hand. Additionaly, we must have respect for what Dave was trying to do. Thus in this instance, knowing the task in hand, IMHO, I would chose to use the word 'brave' rather than crazy.

(see comments below)
Dave's Shaw as carrying out a body recovery exercise at a depth of approx 270m of diver Deon Dreyer who died earlier in this cave. The most likely cause of death was hypercapnia from rebreather scubber CO2 breakthrough.

Agreed.
The first rule of salvage & recovery - never do anything on the bottom that you can do on the surface. I understand wanting to use a body bag for the recovery, but to be honest - I couldn't cut a body out of tech gear and put it in a bag while wearing extended tech gear myself in 3 minutes. i know this part was practiced beforehand, but it is just too much to do. Put the 3/8 rope on the body. Recover body to shallower depths. Place body in bag while in shallow water prior to recovery.
