Speaker Bio
Chris Lemons is internationally renowned for his extraordinary true story of survival, resilience and teamwork in one of the most hostile environments on Earth. With over 20 years as a commercial saturation diver, Chris has operated at depths of up to 900 feet, living for weeks at a time in the confines of a decompression chamber and working in complete darkness on the seabed.
In September 2012, a freak accident severed Chris from his lifeline, leaving him stranded 300 feet underwater with just five minutes of emergency air. Against all odds, he survived for over 40 minutes without heat, light or connection to the surface. His remarkable rescue and survival have captivated audiences worldwide and were immortalised in the hit Netflix/BBC documentary Last Breath and later adapted into a major Hollywood film.
