I saw that on the news last night. One lucky SOB...
Good work by the dive team...
At the end, they reported that the guy said he's never going near the ocean again!

Remarkable. I doubt he'll forget that little incident in a hurry.

Yeah, pressure on the testicles tends to do that.

If that was me, I'd know be scouring the earth for the point of land furthest from any ocean and moving there...

100ft down, 60 hours in the dark, in an air-bubble. I feel faint. There's something almost Lovecraftian about it....

How did they do that? From the video it looked like they took him straight up to the surface? After 60h at 100 ft he'd get bent as hell, if not immediately brought to a pressure chamber.

They took him to a diving bell and then to a hyperbaric chamber for 2 (I think) days.
