Don Shirley

I used to call it a ballet, where he would go one way, I would go another, and we used to meet in the middle somewhere.

My cave is like a three-dimensional maze, so you can literally go in all sorts of directions and meet up if you know what you're doing and where you're going.

So really that's what we did.

One day I would lead, another day Dave would lead.

We used to call it Batman and Robin.

Everything we did was just a pleasure.

It wasn't about depth.

What it was about was actually using the equipment that we were using to the end of its ability to really put the machines through their paces and actually enjoy being there.

That was the start of Dave's Adventures of Bushmans.

It's a poetic place.

It's one of the big five, or what I call the big five Ks of Africa.

And each one comes with its own thing, but they're all deep.

But we were actually exploring the depth in a big open space that is pitch black, but bright when we shine our lights on it.

It was just an amazing place to go.

So Dave was hooked then.

Obviously, straight away, the news came out that the body was in the water.

And now it turned into a crime scene because this is a body in the water and it needed to have chain of evidence and everything else.

So it reasonably quickly became, no, we can't just turn around in a couple of days time and casually fly dive and go and pick up the body and bring it out.

We had to put everything in place to do a body recovery dive, which is a completely different animal to doing a normal dive where you're just dying for fun.

Bushmans is not a little puddle that you'd actually wander into.
