Fully agree, just watched!
Very tipical Brit attitude the comment at the beginning of the last dive!

Just finished watching. Great documentary movie.
I can imagine how he would survive for 30 minutes without breathing and without brain damage from the accident due to several advantages:
1. Hard hat gear kept him from drowning
2. Tissues were fully saturated with oxygen
3. Cold water slows down metabolism.

I just watched this the other night very good..
Gutted!
Got all excited reading in this post that Last Breath is now available on Netflix. Got a free pass from the wife to watch it last night, but when I looked it's not available in the UK. Oh well

That's because it is on BBC online.

After watching I had a few questions / observations.
I guess there's no way for the diver to disconnect himself from the umbilical. If he could, it would seem he could have used his backgas and his buddies umbilical when he was nearby to get back to the bell?
He mentioned at the end that he was using a high % of O2 (from his backgas). It seemed this relative reference was to the O2 via his umbilical. I wonder if this had anything to do with the twitching and if by design an OxTox was planned / less of the relative evils.
I wonder how a specialised ship can be built that doesn't have a manual Plan B for its core operation of maintaining position!!

It seems odd that the backup computer control system was also failed. On the other hand I was glad to learn that the old method of shutdown, restart and reboot the computer control system worked.
