The story of Deon Dreyer and Dave Shaw: In 1994 Boesmansgat, or ‘Bushman’s hole’ was considered a serene swimming spot, located on a private reserve in the stunning countryside of Northern Cape in South Africa. It had, until now, not really been the scene of much drama, but diving enthusiasts had discovered just how deep the water in the cave went, and set about trying to explore the murky depths beneath. This triggered a series of events that linked a group of divers in a tragic twist of fate that cost at least two of them their lives, and ruined the lives of many others. This is the story of how Dave Shaw, the dare devil pilot and diver that sought to ease a family’s pain, which ended in tragedy itself. This is the bushman hole cave diving disaster.
