Dave Not Coming Back

[Heroine of the Dragon]

Did you watch this film?
How do you feel about deep cave diving in general?

On October 28, 2004, two cave divers and long-time friends, Don Shirley and David Shaw, planned a dive at Boesmansgat.[3] Dave went to 280 meters, touched the bottom and started exploring. He had just broken 4 records at once:

Depth on a rebreather
Depth in a cave on a rebreather
Depth at altitude on a rebreather
Depth running a line
While doing so, he found a body that had been lying there for nearly ten years. It was the body of the 19-year old diver Deon Dreyer.

Three months later, the two friends decide to come back and retrieve it. They call Deon Dreyer's parents and ask for their permission. They enroll 8 support rebreather divers, all of whom were close to Don Shirley. Gordon Hiles, a cameraman from Capetown, was filming all throughout the process - from the preparation on the surface to the operation at the bottom of the cave. The surface marshal was Verna van Schaik, who was holding the women's world record for depth. Little did they know that, from that second dive, Dave would not be coming back.

[I REALLY HATE POKEMON!]

I haven't seen that, it seems like an interesting story. However, I think that's a rather disrespectful title for the film, not sure what they were thinking.

^Yeah. If I were one of Dave's friends or family, I would not be okay with them calling the movie that. It's wrong.

The title is from the sign that Don wrote on, "Dave not coming back", used to convey the information to the surface following the loss of Dave, as per their dive plan. If I recall correctly, the family agreed with the naming of the documentary. It's a very emotional documentary.

...well, that's fair enough, then.
