He died keeping a promise at 270M.

On January 8th, 2005, an Australian diver made a promise to a grieving family, and kept it, even though it cost him his own life. This is the full story of Dave Shaw and Deon Dreyer, and the deepest promise ever kept underwater. You'll discover how Dave Shaw discovered a body resting at 270 meters that had been missing for a decade, the promise he made to bring it home, how a closed-circuit rebreather and a tangle of lines turned a carefully planned recovery into a fatal dive, and how a camera mounted on his own gear recorded almost everything that happened. This isn't just a diving tragedy — it's a story about what someone is willing to risk for a promise that wasn't even theirs to make.
