The video of a man being rescued by divers from a capsized ship at the bottom of the ocean three days after the vessel had sunk has emerged.

Harrison Okene survived in an air pocket in the capsized Chevron tugboat without any food and stayed alive sipping on Coca-Cola and is seen being comforted by the rescuers, Metro.co.uk reported.

The ship cook was the only survivor of 12 crew members on the ship which had sunk about 20 miles off the Nigerian coast in May and the South African scuba diving team was sent to conduct a dead body recovery effort.
