Trapped 9 Meters Deep for 5 Days: Chinese Diver Disappears, Miraculously Survives, and Leaves Asking for a Cigarette

Wang, a diver in China, vanished just minutes into a river dive in Hunan and was feared dead. Instead, he had been swept into a complex underwater cave system and trapped nine metres below the surface. By sheer chance, he found a small air pocket that kept him alive while rescue teams searched blindly through dark, dangerous waters.
For five days, divers from multiple provinces risked their lives, battling zero visibility and extreme pressure. As Wang’s oxygen levels dropped to just four percent, he waved a flashlight in desperation. That tiny signal led rescuers straight to him. Against all odds, he was pulled free before his air ran out completely.
What shocked everyone came next. Wang walked out without a stretcher, calm and conscious. His first words were not panic or fear, but a simple request for a cigarette. The moment became a symbol of human endurance, luck, and the thin line between survival and tragedy beneath the surface.
