On October 28, 2004, two cave divers and long-time friends, Don Shirley and David Shaw, plan a dive at Boesmansgat. Dave reaches 270 meters, touching the bottom and exploring. He had just broken four 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, Dave discovered a body that had been lying there for nearly ten years. It was the body of the 20-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 eight support rebreather divers, all of whom were close to Don Shirley. Gordon Hiles, a cameraman from Cape Town, films 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 then held the women's world record for depth. Dave did not survive the attempt to retrieve Dreyer's body.
