In this episode of The Compendium, we uncover the true story of Chris Lemmon’s near-death experience in the North Sea—a survival tale that defies belief. In 2012, Chris, a seasoned saturation diver, was carrying out routine maintenance work 300 feet beneath the surface when disaster struck. His lifeline—the umbilical cord supplying air, warmth, and communication—suddenly snapped, leaving him stranded in total darkness, with no oxygen and no way to escape.

What followed was an unthinkable fight for survival in one of the most extreme environments on Earth. How did Chris Lemmon beat the odds? What happens when a diver loses their air supply? And why do some call this story nothing short of a miracle?
