'Why am I going to die? Why can’t I just go home?' - The incredible survival story of triathlete Els Visser
In 2014, Els Visser was on a snorkelling tour in Indonesia when the boat she was sharing with over 20 others suddenly started to sink at night. Ad Visser was soon plunged into the black ocean after a wave crashed into the boat, before she was hauled out of the water and onto a small lifeboat. The group divided between the lifeboat, barely big enough for six people, and balanced precariously on the roof of the sinking boat.
