For anyone that hasn't seen this on the news it's an amazing story of a guy who survived after being stuck in an air pocket in a sunken tug boat sitting on the bottom in 30m of water for 3 days! http://gcaptain.com/new-video-surfaces-of-amazing-jascon-4-rescue/

2 days of deco they said, imagine the wait to get to the surface after being found. Better than being stuck in the dark alone though!

It said they put him in a diving bell, pressurized to the depth he was at. Which I am then guessing was pulled up onto the boat? And then had to sit in the bell on the boat for two days.
Cant imagine him doing a 2 day deco stop underwater at 30m in the dive bell.

I recall reading somewhere the guy rescued was seriously struggling psychologically after the incident and that his condition may continue for the rest of his life. Would have been one hell of an experience for sure. Whether he was lucky or not is perhaps another matter. I wish him the best.
