A diver. 300 feet down. 40 minutes without air. Every doctor says he should be dead.
On September 18, 2012, saturation diver Chris Lemons was working 300 feet below the North Sea when his umbilical — his only source of air, heat, and communication — snapped. His lights died. His heat vanished. His radio went silent. He had five minutes of air. Maybe six.
What happened next has been argued about in medical journals, in diving forums, and in the minds of everyone who was there. Chris Lemons survived 33 to 40 minutes without supplemental oxygen at 300 feet depth. No brain damage. No decompression sickness. He walked off that ship healthy.
And three weeks later, he went back down.
This is the story of the man who went to the bottom of the ocean and didn't come back. Until he did.
