In 1973, a team of nine divers set out to explore The Shaft in Mount Gambier, aiming for a record dive to reach a depth of 250 feet—the area where sunlight filtered through, beyond which the water turned nearly pitch-black. The cave was notorious for appearing bottomless because beyond a certain point, the bottom wasn't visible from the edge.
The eight divers didn't follow important safety rules at the beginning of their dive. The rope they used to guide them wasn't long enough to reach the cave floor. They also didn't have extra air tanks along the rope, and they didn't plan how to manage their air properly. They didn't pair up for safety or use a guide rope, which they thought would be risky in such a small space. One experienced diver, Robert Smith, didn't expect the others to go as deep into the cave as they did.
They had no idea about the tragedy that was about to strike.
