As a dive master and diving enthusiast, I'm completely moved by this film. Good work to everyone involved and thanks for sharing.
Can I ask as a spearfisherman, why didn't he use a knife to cut the line. He couldnt open those snippers and then he dropped them with precious time and you can tell he really panicked. Why not have a simple dive knife and just cut all the lines needed, seems more simple?
@@LesterSmooth I believe he also suffered some kind of gas narcosis which together with the panicking, could have impaired his mental habilites too.
@@CharlyDavis5594
Agreed, most likely Nitrogen narcosis, since Oxygen toxicity and other mixed gases either causes violent convulsion or a simple black out.
In any event....pure stupidity all around....sorry!
I'm 68 now, back in the 70is, mid 80is I was a silly, bullet proof Idiot of a high risk taking wreck diver, chasing very lucrative loot all over Europe, I'm German.
In 1986 my great love, besides diving, told me, in no uncertain words:
It's either me, and a future with a family and kids.....or your stupid diving!
You can't have both!
Guess what I choose?
Dave just did not listen....may he RIP!

This a really sad story, but beautifully told ❤
Rest in peace Dave
A very exciting told story with a lot of emotional statements. RIP both Buddies ❤❤
Snorkeling is deep enough for me😂
incredible that it took so little for it all to go so wrong. thanks for this documentary
RIP Dave
How come the submarine wasnt able to find deon but dave was??
Looks like people doing exactly what they should be doing
Most lifes problems arise from people wanting to be important..
Play stupid games; win stupid prizes unfortunately.
When Dave tried to retrieve the body of Deon, the head came off.
Means the head is still laying on the floor of the hole right now.
He didn't go down there to help a family say goodbye. He was arrogant and tried to do it because he thought he "could"
Wouldn't you be arrogant if you mastered your art? On the way, you 'get' to do something good even if it's not your main goal. I think that's great, sad about how it turned out.
You've never done anything g great in your life have you?
I don’t think he was arrogant. I think he was confident
You don't own this
get over it…
57:10 anyone know the song playing in background? Sad story with Dave he seemed like a great guy
What a great man kept his word even though it cost him his life rest in peace
If I'm Deon's family, I am telling Dave and his team not to go for the body. It's not worth risking lives for a dead body. If Dave still wanted to go down then I'd tell him not to do it for us or anyone else, only himself.
Easy to say that from here. The family was very respectful and told them they didn’t have to do it.
Family was incredibly respectful, and Dave was going down there regardless, and it simply gave them an objective other than 'going deep.''
That poor family has dealt with needless guilt ever since the tragedy. Don't add more. Not to mention minimizing Dave's astounding success and posthumous recovery of Deon's body let two grieving parents see their son one last time and bring him home. None of that deserves your derision or disrespect.
At the time, more people had walked on the moon than did what Dave accomplished. He and all explorers deserve our respect.
Deons parents famously said they were proud their son had the most beautiful grave site in the world prior to the dive and they also wept with joy upon bringing their son home.
Amateurs second guessing and disrespecting professionals is embarassing.
Right. He's been gone a decade. They know where he died and is. This is just a waste of more lives.
@@josephmatthews7698I see no disrespect from his comment at all, simply saying how he would have went about the situation if it was him in those shoes. Ppl are different it’s ok bud….
These diver types seem to be a bit arrogant and don't like to be questioned. What gives? Some of us don't dive so we ask questions.
Oh my, what a moving documentary.
All it took was a little bit of panic. Then it was all over for Dave. RIP.
I don’t understand. Why is Dave dead? The thing on his wrist?
Basically he got tangled, overworked, passed out and drowned.
Was there no type of radio communication available?
EM-Waves are absorbed by Water.
You could transmitInformation via a Tether, which would mean you need 300m of Cable with you.
Another Option would be mixing/upconvert your Informationsignal with a Ultrasonic Pumpsignal, and appropriate Downmixing and Filtering at the Top.
But how does one Speak underwater with a Breather in your mouth?
I guess you could morse, but doing that also requires quite good proficancy in this Skill.
thanks for the Upload!
poor ol Dave, I feel bad for him and his family
He went back to retrieve the body and then he got stuck and died, right?
well you can watch the documentary, it's right here ;)
no, watch the video
Not exactly. At these depths even the slightest exertion can have lethal consequences.
Nitrogen built up in his blood stream effectively making him drunk and the body came loose spinning free at the bottom of the cave making bagging it far harder.
Dave's drunken brain hyper focused on bagging the half skeletized and half corpse soap body and spent too much time.
When he finally tried to return his loose floating light got tangled and getting it loose was the final straw.
He died of poisoning blacking out.
This is all from my memory from the incredible outdoors article written shortly after the accident. Now I'm gonna watch the documentary and I invite you to join me to see how accurate I was.
Keep in mind, at these depths he can't just surface. Doing so is instant death. He would have to spend 12+ hours ascending to the surface or risk dying. Trying to do that in a cave without your light might as well be a death sentence so simply leaving it was never an option.
(Again all from memory.)
@@josephmatthews7698 Thank you for this synopsis.
Looks like a narcissist’s vanity project to me. Surely more than hundreds of thousands of dollars, a lot of people’s lives at risk, to retrieve a cadaver? Don’t tell me it was for thr deceased’s family. He wanted to do something spectacular to be famous (see the whole process meticulously filmed) and died for it.
No i dont think it was for fame but more like a passion driven and justfied by an excuse of retreving a body
It was an "excuse to go diving", one of the diver said it on the film. Also, who doesn't want a bit of recognition for their art? What's wrong with it?
@@Larpushka exactly they said it them selfes 👍🏻
