Diver cheated death in North Sea miracle

A North Sea diver cheated death after a catastrophic computer failure saw his boat drift away and his oxygen supply cut off.

Chris Lemons lay almost 100m (about 300ft) under the surface, resigned to ending his days in the dark water.

But the miracle of his colleagues' superhuman efforts to save him, and his body lasting 35 minutes on a six-minute emergency air tank, saw him not only living to resume his diving job and marry his fiancee, but to suffer no ill effects of a lack of oxygen.

His extraordinary true story has been made into a documentary film, Last Breath.
