The boat, which had 12 people on board, had been stabilising an oil tanker at a Chevron platform. As the boat overturned, Okene was swept by the water rushing into another bathroom adjoining an officer's cabin, leaving him with only a four-foot high air pocket from which to breathe.<br /><br />Okene survived in the dark for about two days before he heard banging coming from outside the tugboat. He found a filter from a water dispenser and used it to bang on the side of the vessel to make his location known. Soon after, he saw the lights from a rescue diver's flashlight approaching.<br /><br />Okene was fitted with an oxygen mask, a diver's suit and helmet and brought to the surface. He remained in a decompression room for another 60 hours to normalize the pressure in his body.
