The Unbelievable Story of Deep Diver Dave Shaw

The Unbelievable Story of Deep Diver Dave Shaw

This is an old story but a video added to Youtube

At the bottom of the biggest underwater cave in the world, diving deeper than almost anyone had ever gone, Dave Shaw found the body of a young man who had disappeared ten years earlier. What happened after Shaw promised to go back is nearly unbelievable—unless you believe in ghosts.

Curiously, I stumbled on *this* version of the story just yesterday:

http://outside.away.com/outside/feature ... haw-1.html

Yes, it's an old story, and I'd heard a fair bit about it in the past. But I did read more details in this story. I specualated that the video, which I knew had been on TV, might be posted on youtube. But I didn't really think I wanted to watch it. A few years ago I read the gory part of "The Last Dive" just before falling asleep and had nightmares!

This was on "Australian Story" quite a while ago here is a link to the Australian Story website. I saw the episode when it aired on Australian TV they actually showed the footage of him dying which I was very surprised at, this was at about 8.00pm at night so general viewing hours.

For those who are interested the website says you can order a tape of past episodes from progsales@your.abc.net.au.

Hope it helps
