Australier findet Skelett eines seit 10 Jahren vermissten Tauchers
Australian deep-water diver attempting a world-record dive in South Africa found the skeletal remains of a fellow diver who disappeared down the same sinkhole 10 years ago, South African radio said today.
David Shaw found the remains of Deon Dreyer, who died at Boesmansgat in the arid Northern Cape province in 1994, at a depth of 271 metres, SABC radio said.
The Australian said he wanted to go deeper, but decided to stop after making the grisly discovery.
Mr Shaw did however break the previous record of 242 metres for diving with special equipment, rather than normal scuba gear.
He took nine-and-half hours to resurface, spending most of the time decompressing.
