Okene Harrison was presumed to have drowned like the rest of his colleagues on the Chevron tugboat when it sank in May. Luckily rescuers did not slow their efforts despite believing that all of the crew had perished on the sunken ship.

Three days after the sinking, divers found Harrison alive but exhausted, having survived in an air pocket until rescuers found him. A video has now been released depicting the rescue.
