Agnes Milowka (1982 - 27 February 2011) was an Australian (WP) technical diver, underwater photographer, author (WP), cave explorer, and underwater archaeologist.[1][2] She died during a diving expedition to Wikipedia:Tank Cave near Mt Gambier on the Wikipedia:South Australian coast.[3] [4]

'Blue Holes' work
Miss Milowka received her graduate degree in marine archaeology from Flinders University, and worked as part of the National Geographic team exploring the 'Blue Holes of the Bahamas'.[5][6] The Australian press reported that she had done her work in the Pacific, mistaking the Bahamanian blue holes for geologic formations of the same type off the coast of Australia.

As Milowka related in her article, Unraveling the mysteries of the Bahamas, the thick layer of sulphur on the nine meter deep floor of one of the dives in Sawmill Sink provided the conditions for perfect specimens of an extinct tortoise shell and crocodile skull to be preserved, waiting 3000 years for her to retrieve them.[6][7][8]

Sanctum work
Milowka acted as a stunt double and instructor-by-example[9] for the characters Judes and Victoria (actresses Allison Cratchley and Alice Parkinson) in James Cameron's feature film Sanctum.[8]

Distance record
Milowka preferred to dive at low depths, but her preference for diving far into cave systems led to many technical dives, which she categorized as 40 meters or more deep. She held the Australian female cave penetration record [10]
