This is the miraculous moment a man was rescued after spending three days at sea drifting on an ice chest.<br /> <br />Udin Diman, 46, was found off the coast in North Maluku province, Indonesia on September 17 afternoon after he had gone missing for three days.<br /> <br />The fisherman left his home on September 14 morning to catch some seafood to sell, but had not returned that night so his family became worried.<br /> <br />After 24 hours had passed, they reported the incident to police who deployed a search and rescue team in the area.<br /> <br />The team patrolled the area where Udin and other villagers normally go fishing, but he was not there.<br /> <br />They found him after two days of searching further into the ocean, floating on an orange ice and a fish container.<br /> <br />Rescue team head Muhamad Arafah said: "We are not yet sure how he survived without food and water for three days, but he is a lucky man. We're glad we found him."<br /> <br />The starving and extremely dehydrated man was rushed to the hospital upon reaching the nearby port.<br /> <br />He did not have any serious injuries so he was allowed to go home later that day after being given food and water.<br /> <br />Speaking after, Udin said he was pushed further into the deeper parts of the ocean by strong currents.<br /> <br />His boat toppled and capsized over so he clung to the ice chest and had drifted in it for days.<br /> <br />He said: "I was alternately passing out because of hunger and sleeping until the rescuers found me."<br /> <br />The grateful fisherman went home with his family after a few hours at the hospital.
