 Episode 1: "The Diver's Tomb" - Harrison Okene's Underwater Miracle Summary: In May 2013, Nigerian cook Harrison Okene was trapped when the tugboat Jascon-4 capsized and sank to the ocean floor during a storm. While his 11 crewmates drowned, Okene found an air pocket in the ship's engineer's office, where he survived for 60 hours in complete darkness, 100 feet underwater. With toxic gases building up, rising water threatening his shrinking air space, and sharks swimming through the wreckage around him, Okene endured hypothermia and dehydration until stunned rescue divers found him alive—the only survivor. His rescue, captured on video, shows one of the most remarkable survival stories in maritime history and the deepest successful underwater rescue ever recorded.
