Harrison Okene is stuck in a capsized ship off Nigeria, sunk to 30m. The divers are expecting to be on a body recovery mission, when they discover him alive. He had to be rescued via the diving bell and spent 60hrs in decompression chamber.

I am somewhat obsessed with sat divers because:
1) One of my mates is one
2) I could not do it, ever.

So this just blows your mind how awesome it is.

Dark humour I think. Must of been very stressful for the dive team as well.

I am amazed how calm he was when the hand he saw grabbed him. I would of shit myself!

Thats amazing - the bloody bravery of going in there to recover bodies is remarkable enough, but as winston dog says - imagine how much you would have jumped when one grabbed your hand ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

Probably not. Technically that's a pretty straight forward task for those guys.
