Dave Shaw Recorded His Own Death At 928FT!

[@thatswhatshesaid6326]

What an incredible person Dave was to risk his own life to give Dion’s family a sense of peace and closure. What a great legacy he left behind.

[@DieWodka]

As a diver- your explanation of decompression sickness was very well done 😊

[@ZaraV]

Aw I'm glad! I read so much into it that eventually it sounded like gibberish in my head. I was hoping it made sense coming out haha

[@CarpeNutella]

I don't know much about the technical aspects and have never scuba dived but I thought your explanation was also great. "The Bends" sounds awful and wild.

[@ItsBrandyElisea]

Yes, more of these cases, please! It’s really refreshing to hear of stories, although still sad, not exactly tied to murder or any other horrors of the sort

[@PollyAmorous]

I agree. I’m taking a true crime break at the moment but something made me watch Zara today.

[@kristys.crawford3066]

I’m so glad to have you telling stories again and hopefully for many years to come.

[@carlapatriciasilvino5979]

silent listener here.. crocheting while listening to youu.. thank you for another video..

[@AnnaBella-cc1cl]

You’re honestly my biggest comfort watch on KZbin and have been for a long time, it may sound odd considering the topics but you help my insomnia and your videos really do comfort me into sleep. I get so happy whenever I see you post and I hope that this new year will be a little easier on you, people will always find something to comment on but I hope you know how amazing you are and how many true supporters you have, Merry Christmas beautiful Mumma 🤍

I grew up diving in Key Largo. My dad owned a diving business. I'll never forget, I was diving in the Cayman Islands with my Dad. I was about 13 or 14 yrs old. We were only about 30 feet down, just going along the bottom. It was absolutely beautiful! Then out of no where, there was this drop off, almost like a cliff's edge, where you couldn't see the bottom anymore. I ended having the worse vertigo from that & it freaked me out. My dad had to hold on to me, so I didn't shoot up to the surface as fast as I could. We just went up slowly so not to get the Bends. Luckily vertigo subsides quite quickly when you ascend. So I was feeling better. But talk about dizzying! I'll never forget that moment. Ever!

[@rachaelking4890]

Although I do hate that there are stories like this out there, I really like you telling them! You explain so well, and it’s honestly interesting to learn about these things! Dave was a wonderful man for wanting to do that for Dion’s family. ❤️

[@lennawisehart4888]

Greetings beautiful Zara and all my fellow Zarians 😊 im just sitting here being grateful for the air i am breathing! happy holidays to all, whichever holidays you may observe❤❤❤

[@amyblot4512]

Oh my goodness girl!!! What an amazing story! I of course cried but it makes you believe in humanity and how amazing we are. I wish people remembered a bit more. Happy Holidays to you and your family! ❤

[@ZaraV]

Amazing right! Happy holidays lovely 🌹

[@lindaanderson6780]

As an Aussie, I have so much admiration & respect for what Dave Shaw did! It's absolutely heart-breaking that such a brave, good-willed & decent man paid the ultimate price & lost his own life during an act of heroism! Thank u for covering this case so well & with due consideration & respect all around! May both of those brave & adventurous men be Resting in Eternal Peace! 🕊🙏🕊

[@kharriger6439]

David was my husbands name. We told people Dave is not coming back. He passed in 2021 from aml cancer. Just 6 hours after his official diagnosis. He loved it when we called Dave. We had such a great sense of humor.

[@ZaraV]

Oh my gosh that is heartbreaking. I am shocked to hear that as I've had family members go through it. I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss, Dave sounds like a great partner 💕

[@sarahleony]

I’m not gonna lie, i feel like this was not worth it. Deon said if he had to choose he’d want to die diving. Deon’s parents said he has the most majestic grave. It had been ten years. David had a wife and children. No.

[@ZaraV]

A lot of people feel this way!

[@1_John_2_27]

I don't know, if it was my son who had passed down in the water, I wouldn't want anyone else to lose their life to bring up my son's corpse. I believe in the Real Life after the death of this life on Earth. I would know that my son's soul is free and there's no need to lose a another life for a corpse without a soul. That's just me. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I knew that I agreed for someone to bring up my son's corpse, and they died in the process.

[@kittensdaddy3559]

I'm sorry about not being a member again. I will be after New years. My son just turned 12 and with the holidays too I have gone broke. But I will be a member again. I really appreciate your uploads and have been glad to see you back for a bit!

[@LL-zb3dl]

I hope things can improve for you and your family soon ❤❤❤❤❤

[@ZaraV]

Oh my gosh please don't even think like that! Don't ever feel like you owe me anything! Take care of your family and yourself, things will look up again soon. Hope you have a wonderful happy holiday season and remember to be kind to yourself. Happy belated birthday to your son! 💓💓💓💓

[@nomaguguchantellenkosi5247]

Why would you apologize for your family going through life 😔?

[@kittensdaddy3559]

@@ZaraV Thanks for the reply! I don't feel I owe you, but I do like to show support when I can. I just wanted you to know I was still here and I'm not someone who cancelled and maybe was unsatisfied or something. I appreciate your nice words. I hope your family has good holidays!

[@rickspigot2205]

I hope you are doing well Zara. You look extra happy today. I'm happy to see this. Thank you for including Feet in this video! Very nice of you.

[@CarpeNutella]

Underwater cave diving is something I wouldn't do ever. Not for a million dollars. There's nothing more terrifying than being stuck in a tiny rock crevice deep underwater, dying alone in a dark, cold place. No thanks!

[@ZaraV]

Totally! I couldn't do it either!

[@LianeBrooklynFlgirl]

I have seen this doc. It was so sad. Thank you Zara for covering it. I’m like you I won’t even snorkel.

[@tammymeyer2561]

Wow I watched this documentary,when I saw this pop up I got so excited. Thank you for covering this I cannot wait to watch it.

[@ZaraV]

How wild is it?!

[@MissMia-q5n]

Wow you are glowing Zara and thank you for this week episode ❤

[@nbooch73]

We love you Z you’re amazing ! We miss you doing your makeup wish you didn’t let the trolls get to you ! Love you either way 🎉❤

[@PollyAmorous]

A friend’s mum went on a dive and never returned. She was in a ‘recover’ dive to hopefully bring back a corpse of somebody else. But, sadly 😢😢😢 I just reached the end of the video. Oh, how awfully frustratingly devastating to too many people 😢. I’m just glad that both bodies did at least come back. Well done, Zara, for letting this story be shared further ❤

[@ZaraV]

Oh man to know someone that actually lost their life that way???!! Wow hope you're friend managed that incredible loss somehow. Thanks for watching;

[@littlemissliv100]

I always like your videos before even watching it all the way through because I know I’ll love it!!! ❤

[@macaelashaunnadavids]

Same honestly!

[@ZaraV]

Aw you are so sweet thanks for watching and supporting! 💖

[@macaelashaunnadavids]

Hi Zara! Thank you for covering this case, I'm from South-Africa and I'm so grateful that you're covering one of our own❤❤

[@chriscruz4281]

"Sweet-spirited" Zara! Precious! Keep being YOU! 🎉

[@tonischmeider4714]

Loving your makeup!!!!! Beautiful 💜

[@shortstuff1979]

So happy you are back to making videos. I hope that whatever personal things you had going on has gotten better. I am with you, we don't have fins or gills and we don't belong in the deep water. I do love that he was doing something out of the goodness of his heart though

[@liyahliyah694]

I got my diving certificate this year in the Philippines. It was so beautiful and we went to Malapascua to dive with thresher sharks. One of the island had a cave exploration and I almost had a panic attack and cried😓😓 I couldn’t do it I had to sit out! No way man. The cave scared me more than the sharks did 😅

[@ZaraV]

It's amazing you even got your certificate! Water is not for me! 😭

[@Jeanna-cm8ci]

Dave is one of the most honorable man i have heard of. I agree with Zara i got no fins or gills i aint going nowhere like that.

[@jtwalkes]

Your eye makeup looks beautiful!!!

[@hilaryperez8931]

I never EVER comment on your videos but I LOVED this content mostly bc my boyfriend hates true crime and he was so into what you were saying that when an add/commercial came on he was like “omg then what?! What happened next?!” lol he scuba dives so this related to him in a way. I appreciate you venturing out to different topics !!

[@hazelsamuel4752]

I think Dave is an absolute Hero ❤

[@Jeanna-cm8ci]

💯

[@johnwood441]

Cave diving sounds awesome. Great story ❤ sad ending. The bloating is called adipose tissue

[@mamafigz]

Hi Zara! ❤ Happy holidays to you and your family! Thanks again for another video. 🎅🏼🎄 P.s. YES I watched your other episode of the gentleman who got stuck upside down in a cave...and my stomach simply sank when you told us they were about to get him out but the line snapped. 😮 ...Ok let's go listen to this one! 🥹

[@ZaraV]

How crazy are these stories! Wild that people even attempt it but so important to talk about it and learn about what went wrong!

[@ZaraV]

Happy Holidays girl hope you're gonna have a wonderful break!

[@mamafigz]

@ZaraV totally nuts! You couldn't pay me enough to scuba in a pool! Lol let alone some dark uncharted under water cave. Nope nope nope. I like breathing air. Lol

[@mamafigz]

@@ZaraV thank you! You too! 💚❤️

[@sarahconn3285]

Have a great Christmas and Happy New Year Zara stay safe over the holidays!!

[@hazelsamuel4752]

This “cave diving” is my worst nightmare. 😮

[@debrabacon6828]

Very interesting. It is scary to me. Cave diving. But… thanks for this

[@cherryj5566]

Very interesting. I can do with some stories like this.

[@ZaraV]

How interesting are they!

[@SallyKohorst]

RIP Dave thanks for his story. I would never go in a cave or go on a ship or sky dive, nothing scary.

[@kristyparlor7849]

Oh no idk if I can handle this one. I am too scared to watch movies about caves. I'm def going to watch as much as I can. Love you Zara! ❤

[@madisonmayfield65]

I actually went into an underground cave. It’s called Nimrod. It’s in Montana. My son‘s father guided me in there. I was so scared. He just passed away… :(

[@ZaraV]

Oh gosh I can't even imagine. I'm sorry for your loss 🙏😔

[@melanieperry1780]

Growing up we lived really close to a bluff, below the bluffs were caves. We went in them all the time. Now my adult self wouldn't darn going into any of them, they freak me out!

[@ZaraV]

The things we do when we're young right!

[@missginger4450]

Great video.. You should do one on the nutty putty cave incident.. really morbid but interesting! Love your content :) x

Happy holidays Zara , hope your family is blessed and healthy ❤️🫶🏼🎁

[@Mark2024Hola]

Very good coverage of this tragic case. I dive, but only recreationally - only been down to 35mtrs or so. My dad was a wreck diver - scary. I have dived on a couple of wrecks and it is freaky - very unnerving at times. Yes, it can be dangerous - but so is going to the moon or climbing mount Everest, or even going mountain biking. I think humans are doing these things for the rush and thrill of exploration - it will help us progress; can't just stay in bed all day. RIP those guys. Very brave.

[@wendymashinini6332]

To criticize someone for doing something so extremely selfless in such a situation is crazy. Rest in peace to both men, I feel for the families of both deceased. Sending heavenly flowers 💐. 😢

Whenever i lose sight of how all people are so different from each other, i remind myself that cave divers and mountain climbers exist. I could NEVER 😱🤯

[@Army4life82]

You have got to be a total adrenaline junkie and have balls of steel to attempt cave diving. I love to go snorkeling. It's the only thing I'm brave enough to do besides swimming. 14 hours to reach the top 😮 wow that's the definition of extreme sporting

[@TriciaNagels]

[@sancho8521]

... Nope 🎉

[@KerrieKruegner]

I respect that people see Dave as honourable or a hero but I think it illogical and foolhardy Didnhe not consider his own family? Dions family knew what happened to him and where his final resting place was so they had that amount of closure I agree that his “grave” Was poetic and where he preferred to Be not in the ground somewhere I think it madness to risk a life a family man’s life ( more to consider other lives not just his own) to retrieve an already deceased body?! A shell Not Dion I would not be proud if it was my partner and childrens father I would be all about preventing it and applying some uncommon sense I feel for Dions parents but how do they sleep now ?!

[@kristiejack9589]

Hay, im new to the channel ❤ this , and you sound like one of us... are you Australian?

These divers are crazy. Humans do NOT BELONG down there. Heck, we dont belong in the water, period.

I hate cave diving. You’d never find me down there. Ever. Heard way too many tragedies.

[@ZaraV]

Nevvvverrr!

[@serenegreene6984]

I had trouble breathing during this video. I’m so afraid of water!

[@Nayyy-824]

Dave is incredible but he should have not doneee that !!!!! Deon died doing what he loved where he loved to be & his parents should’ve have said yes knowing that they lost a son but to send someone else son to possibly do the same !!! I don’t really understand why people feel like a body needs to burned before they have closure

[@sancho8521]

...hi Zara🎉 Cave diving is soooo stupid! I mean, really?! What is the point? Risk one's life for what?

Forgive me, please Zara, but you are soo fine 🎉
