Raising The Dead (Paperback, ePub edition)


A true story of death and survival in the world's most dangerous sport – cave-diving.

On New Year's Day, 2005, at Boesmansgat in the Kalahari, two experienced divers plunged 900 ft into a water-filled crater in order to raise the body of a diver who had perished there a decade before.

Only one diver returned. What happened at Boesmansgat is the stuff of nightmarish drama, juxtaposing classic elements of suspense with an extreme environment beyond most people's comprehension. But it's also a compelling human story of friendship, heroism, unswerving ambition and of coming to terms with loss and tragedy.
