On New Year's Day, 2005, David Shaw traveled halfway around the world on a journey that took him to a steep crater in the Kalahari Desert of South Africa, a site known as Bushman's Hole. His destination was nearly 900 feet below the surface.On January 8th he descended into the water. About fifteen feet below the surface was a fissure in the bottom of the basin, barely wide enough to admit him. He slipped through the opening and disappeared from sight, leaving behind the world of light and life.Then, a second diver descended through the same crack in the stone. This was Don Shirley, Shaw's friend, and one of the few people in the world qualified to follow where Shaw was about to go. In the community of extreme scuba diving, Don Shirley was a master among masters.Twenty-five minutes later, one of the men was dead. The other was in mortal peril, and would spend the next 10 hours struggling to survive, existing literally from breath to breath.What happened that day is the stuff of nightmarish drama, but  Diving into Darkness is also a compelling human story of friendship, heroism, ambition, and of coming to terms with loss and tragedy.

Set against a backdrop of intense psychological conflict, this gripping narrative explores the life of a character grappling with their dark impulses and the consequences of their actions. Themes of identity, morality, and the struggle between good and evil are woven throughout the story, leading to a thrilling climax. The author delves deep into the complexities of the human psyche, making readers question the nature of violence and the factors that drive individuals to commit heinous acts.

Opowieść o Boesmansgat, głębokiej na prawie 300 m jaskini w RPA w kształcie dzwonu i pilocie samolotów pasażerskich, Davidzie Shaw, który po zaledwie 5 latach szkolenia zszedł jako pierwszy i jedyny do tej pory człowiek na głębokość 270 metrów na obiegu zamkniętym. Opowieść o próbie wyłowienia przez niego ciała nurka z dna jaskini, która, choć zakończona tragicznie, jest świadectwem niezwykłej przyjaźni dwóch wyjątkowych ludzi połączonych wspólną pasją.
