The Story
Greg Keley was a Navy clearance diver who experienced a near-death experience (NDE) in 1997 during a mission in the Antarctic Ocean. The incident began when he jumped from a ship and fell into the freezing water after a towing shackle snapped. He struggled to stay afloat and eventually sank, inhaling cold water.
