Tödlicher Tauchunfall Agnes Milowka

to start of sidebar.

The Polish-born 29-year-old recently worked as a
stunt diver for James Cameron's new blockbuster
Sanctum 3D, which is showing across Australia.

The movie centres on a team of cave divers pushed
to the limit when an expedition goes tragically wrong.

Ms Milowka's passion to explore some of the last
undiscovered places on Earth took her to exotic
underwater caves from Tasmania to the Bahamas.

It also led her to her death at Tank Cave, near
Mt Gambier, on Sunday afternoon.

Her distraught parents arrived at the site
yesterday afternoon as a Cave Divers Association
team re-entered the 7km cave to find a path to
her body. Police warned it may be up to five days before they can retrieve her.

Family and friends across the globe remembered her as a pioneer in her field.

"She had a huge series of accomplishments and a
wonderfully enthusiastic attitude," fellow diver Barbara AmEnde said.

US diver Cris Jones said: "She had a passion for
cave diving that is difficult to explain to those
that do not practise the sport."

Warwick McDonald, former national director of the
Cave Divers Association, said Ms Milowka dived at Tank Cave "many, many times".

On Friday she tweeted her excitement at the
coming diving expedition: "Another w-end of cave
diving in Mt Gambier . . . fabulous! Can't wait to get underground."

In December Ms Milowka wrote an article describing Tank Cave as "a real gem".

"The cave is stunning . . . there is no flow to
fight and the water is crystal clear - you can't go wrong really."

Difficult recovery for emergency crews

Authorities continue assessing whether it is safe
to recover her body, with specialist divers
expected to be needed for the operation.

Tank Cave has been described by dive experts as
"the best cave in the southern hemisphere".

The cave is on private property on the Princes
Highway, halfway between Millicent and Mt
Gambier, near Tantanoola, and is renowned for
being a "complicated underground cavern".

Police say they will prepare a report for the Coroner.

Ms Milowka's death is the second cave diving
death in the south-east in the past year, but
only the second time in 30 years someone has died in the Mt Gambier systems.

Melbourne doctor Robert McAlister, 51, died while
diving in a sinkhole near Mt Schank on March 13, 2010.

His co-diver was gradually surfacing to avoid the
bends when he saw Dr McAlister, an experienced
diver, at a great depth below him, authorities said.

The co-diver did not have enough air to return to
Dr McAlister. He came to the surface and raised
the alarm, but when water operations police found
Dr McAlister he was dead and was tangled in the cave's guide ropes.

There have been few fatalities despite the
dangers of the sporting subculture, partly
because so few people are prepared to take the necessary risks.

A recent report by
<http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/ipad/cave-divers-in-deep-trouble-underground/story-fn3o6wog-1225999480847>Adelaide
Now shows there are just 800 accredited divers
prepared to risk their lives to reach a beautiful
underground world, as alien as space.

The sport combines scuba diving and cave
exploration, with South Australia’s south east
considered to have some of the best cave diving sites in the world.

Divers from as far as Russia come to visit the
estimate 330 known caverns, sink holes and caves
such as The Black Hole, The Shaft and Death Cave.

Tank Cave is considered one of the most
spectacular, with its a labyrinth of connected passages.
