Tragic diver who died exploring dangerous depths with body left for 10 years

The body of a diver who sank without a trace during a risky dive was left at the bottom of an 800-foot underwater hole for 10 years until a chance discovery led to efforts to retrieve his body.

But when expert diver Dave Shaw mounted an expedition to retrieve the remains of Deon Dreyer, little did he know that tragedy lay in wait for him as well.

The story was explored by YouTuber MrBallen who described the incredible diving spot known as Boesmansgat or Bushman's Hole in South Africa.
