Cave diving death close to home

01 March 2011 , 7:36 PM by nicole gundi

"The sport of cave diving can see you become a dead diver."

Those are the words of cave-diver Agnes Milowka speaking in a video that's on her website.

Sadly, that's what happened to her.

Agnes went on to say, "to me those risks are worth it because the rewards are worth it".

The highly experienced diver from Melbourne drowned after losing her diving buddy while diving at Tank Cave in the south-east of South Australia on Sunday.

Agnes' body still hasn't been retrieved as it's in a very small passage of the cave but police are relying on expert divers to help bring her out after they spent the day shifting rocks to clear a path.

It's an obsession that she loved and her resume included being a stunt diver on the film Sanctum which was filmed on the Gold Coast.

Cave diver, writer and producer of Sanctum Andrew Wight was her good friend and spoke to Bernadette Young about how the cave diving community is feeling.
