The beloved documentary maker and naturalist was filming a virtual reality experience,*David Attenborough's Great Barrier Reef Dive VR, which along with*David Attenborough's First Life VR,*is*currently showing at the Australian Museum (http://australianmuseum.net.au/landing/vr-experiences/) in Sydney.*
