Determined to prove the existence of the Loch Ness Monster, Dinsdale traveled to Loch Ness on an expedition. On the fifth day, 23 April 1960, he filmed an object he would claim to be the hump of the monster. The grainy film is still believed by some to be proof of the existence of the monster. The Joint Air Reconnaissance Intelligence Centre (JARIC) analyzed it and believed it was an animate object, but later analyses suggest the footage is of a motorboat. Dinsdale dedicated his life to obtaining further evidence, taking part in a total of 56 expeditions, many of them solo. Although he claimed to have later seen the monster's head and neck on two occasions, he failed to obtain any more film footage. He also published several books on the subject.
Dinsdale died in Reading aged 63 in 1987.
He is commemorated in the Dinsdale Memorial Award.
