I spotted this on the BBC news site this morning:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-36097300
I clicked on it half expecting another of those short "caving is stupid and dangerous" articles, but was pleasantly surprised to find a lengthy piece about two cave divers that died in Norway (Plura-Steinugleflaget traverse) in Feb 2014. It's a comprehensive article about the accident and body recovery, which is in part an advert for a documentary "Diving into the Unknown". Although obviously sad that the premise of the story is the fatalities, the focus is the subsequent (illegal) rescue mission, and the determination of the deceaseds' friends to recover the bodies. There is a lot of positive spin and it makes for an interesting read.
