Lost diver survives five days in underwater cave in China
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] In China, a diving enthusiast got lost in an underwater cave and spent five days there. This was reported on August 2 by the Chinese newspaper South China Morning Post (SCMP).
I used to adore scuba diving, but this is why I never felt the need to do the more advanced cave diving. Serious courage is needed.
According to the publication, on July 19, 40-year-old amateur diver Wang went missing shortly after diving into a river with his friend. It turned out that the man accidentally swam into a huge underwater cave located at a depth of 9 m and got lost in it. The diver was able to survive only because he discovered an air pocket in the cave.

Police launched a search operation with the participation of professional scuba divers, who were able to find Van. In total, the man spent five days and five nights in the cave and after the rescue felt well enough to walk to the ambulance on his own.

Wang said he had been eating raw fish. When he was found, the first thing he asked for was a cigarette.

That was a large underwater cave, that happen to have breathable air?

Given, a typical person consumes about 7,500 liters of air per day.
5x that would be over 35,000 liters of trapped air.
