Outstanding - By: B. Hearne, 07 Nov 2008 
Curiosity piqued by any written account of human endeavour/failure/triumphin the face of drastic circumstance, I was understandably drawn to Raising The Dead. What a surprise to me to find this account of a cave divein SA had me as thrilled, horrified & distraught as had accounts of Everest ascents & descents, global circumnavigation attempts, & south american climbing disastersin the past decade of my reading life. As another reviewer put it: 'unputdownable'. I'm not a diver. Now I wish I were.
I couldn't put it down ..... - By: N. Webster, 16 Sep 2008 An excellent book, well written & very pacy.
Even though the bulk of the main story is laid outin the first chapter, the background fillsin to build the tension before the final dive. There's quite a twist at the end, which I won't spoil by describing !
Fascinating for scuba divers, but well explained for non-divers too. I couldn't put it down .....
Superb book - By: D. Bowden, 21 Jun 2008 A book which is simply un-putdownable, but which is also tragic. A truly riveting read that tells an amazing story - I can't recommend it enough. However, one can't help but think why on earth Dave Shaw thought this was a risk worth taking, especially since he knew the extreme dangers involvedin cave diving. Very sad.
