Johannesburg - The bodies of Australian diver Dave Shaw and South African Deon Dreyer were recovered from the world's third deepest freshwater cave, Boesmansgat, in the Northern Cape on Wednesday.

Shaw went missing on Saturday while trying to recover the remains of Dreyer, a diver who blacked out and drowned in the cave while diving there in 1994.

He was 20 years old. Dreyer's body had been lying at a depth of 270m at the bottom of the cave.

Police spokesperson Louis van Vuuren told Sapa both bodies had been brought to the surface.

"The bodies have been found and brought up. That is all I can say at this stage."
