Deep sea diver Chris Lemons is not supposed to be here. In September 2012, an unforeseen accident separated Chris from his support unit and plunged him into darkness. He was 100 meters below the surface of the North Sea, disorientated and hooked up to an emergency supply which offered just 6 minutes of life-giving support. His miraculous survival story is not one to be missed! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
