I saw it, absolutely mental. 

Yeah, big seas, I guess. 

 

Edit

Thinking about it again, that was like Mark Watney in The Martian levels of "yep, you're f*cked." Crazy that they got him back!

Yep Chris was a lucky guy, general consensus is the loss of his hot water supply caused rapid cooling and a really high PP02 mix in his bale out ( emergency cylinders you see on his back) set up was what kept enough 02 in his system to keep him ticking over. Since then one of the subsequent actions from the many studies and lessons learned has been the nearly universal adoption of the “ cobra “ rebreather emergency back up system, this gives a far greater duration if you lose main gas.

Air pockets sound good in theory but in reality it’s not the lack of air/oxygen that gets you but the carbon dioxide build up from exhalation 

I thought it was clutching at straws hoping that they were in an air pocket! I suppose while theres hope its worth giving it a go.

I very nearly drowned once and that was in warm calm waters in the middle of the day, it was terrifying. I feel for those poor buggers as it must have been horrendous.

I run it until it dies, it’s my way of doing my bit for the environment.
