Christopher Lemons is a highly specialised deep sea saturation diver – which involves living in a decompression chamber for up to 28 days at a time, travelling daily to the sea-bed in a diving bell, and working 900 feet below the surface for up to 6 hours.
With over a decade of working in high-pressure environments, requiring both individual and team performance, Christopher Lemons has continually demonstrated remarkable resilience in many scenarios. A pinnacle moment of resilience occurred in September of 2012, when the vessel he was working under failed, leaving him on the sea-bed, 300 feet under water, with no oxygen, light or heat for over 40 minutes.
Lemons discusses his remarkable survival and how it continues to perplex doctors to this day. The popular Netflix/BBC documentary, “Last Breath”, uses the raw footage from this accident, moving audiences globally.
During this interview, he shares some of the many lessons he has taken from that day, along with the value his message can offer others. He describes the teamwork and courage demonstrated through this journey. Lemons – who lives to tell the tale – inspires others through his valuable insights… while continuing to dive.
