520    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 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 
       it's also a compelling human story of friendship, heroism,
       ambition, and of coming to terms with loss and tragedy.--
