Scuba deaths at Boesmansgat, South Africa

Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

Dave's head mounted video camera records his final moments, he basically passes out, most likely from overworking at depth which builds up CO2.

Here is the dive plan:
"Well, first you're gonna go down below 800',
you'll follow a reel to a guy buried tanks down in the silt,
you gotta dig out the silt from around his tanks and manifold until you can
break him free from the bottom, lift him up and out, and float his rig,
then drag him back to the upline,
then pull him up with you...
all from below 800'
by yourself."

Sad and extremely crazy dive plan.
