This is a cut & paste from Rebreather World. I do not know the guy, will try to get more detail. He leaves behind his wife and 3 kids. Our thoughts are with his family and friends. Badgat is a deep sinkhole in South Africa run by Don Shirley.
RB World Forum Qouted
"Rob died on 27 December 2010 doing a dive at Badgat at the age of 43.
His memorial service was yesterday. His untimely death came as a shock to all of us. I dived with him the beginning of December at Badgat, when we did two dives, exploring the ends of level 7 (68m). We were planning some 108m and some wreck diving in January and February.
To say the least: Rob was a good guy, intelligent, unpretentious and had a real passion for diving, he was a full trimix rebreather and cave diver and also was a Padi, IANTD and TDI instructor.
He will be sorely missed.
Condolences again to Sandra and his 3 children."
