I saw a mention of the AS program in the paper last night, managed to see the last 15-20mins.

I have to say here how brave it is of his family to do such a program so soon after the sad event. It's really nice to see that they appreciate the fact that this was who Cpt Shaw was and what he loved doing. All you see is love and admiration for the husband and father.

That camera footage was just heartbreaking, and I really felt for his dive team waiting back up at the top. What a professional team they were - even though they knew it had gone terribly wrong and they had lost their friend, they all pulled together to try save Don Shirley. What truly committed people.

And it's nice to see that they won't give up doing what they love, just as their friend would have wanted them to continue.
