'Do we drown or rocket to the surface?'

from Access All: Disability News and Mental Health · host BBC Sounds

Rich Osborn had the perfect summer job as a scuba diving instructor in Cyprus - but it would become a job which led to him becoming paraplegic. On a day off, the then 21-year-old and three instructor friends decided to go for a carefully planned deep-dive. At 40m under the ocean's surface the group ran out of air. With nothing left in the tanks they had a decision to make - drown there and then, or rocket to the surface and risk catastrophic injuries from the benz. Presented by Beth Rose with Rich Osborn.
