A professional diver descends into the wreck of the Jascon-Four expecting to recover bodies. Nearly three days earlier, the tugboat had sunk upside down off the coast of Nigeria, and everyone believed there were no survivors left inside. Then, in a flooded corridor 30 meters below the surface, something grabs his wrist. It is a human hand. Warm. Alive. Harrison Okene, the ship’s 29-year-old cook, has survived for almost 60 hours inside a tiny pocket of trapped air, surrounded by freezing water, darkness, diesel fuel and a dying supply of breathable air. What happens next becomes one of the most extraordinary survival stories ever recorded at sea.
