Trapped Underwater and Running Out of Air

Underwater UFO

If you were to try to come up with the most outlandish survival story imaginable, you鈥檇 be hard pressed to do much better than the tale of Michael Proudfoot, a scuba diver who found himself trapped alone in a shipwreck deep under the sea and running out of air. It鈥檚 the ultimate nightmare scenario for a diver, and yet somehow Proudfoot managed to live through it. Or maybe not. Maybe none of it ever happened. This week on the 国产吃瓜黑料 Podcast, we revisit a classic episode from our archives that had us taking our own deep dive into a legend that seems too astonishing to be true鈥攂ut just might be.
