We are going to dive into the ocean to observe a rescue maneuver 30 meters deep and almost in complete darkness. We move inside the remains of a ship that sank three days ago in the Gulf of Guinea. The signs we see are upside down because the boat has turned around when it fell to the bottom. We are looking for the body of the 12 crew members of the ship. Suddenly, the impossible becomes possible. There is a survivor. In this episode we accompany the protagonists of this adventure and discover how a cook could survive for 3 days submerged 30 meters under the sea, what happens to our body down there and what the risks and difficulties are in getting him out of there alive.

What is Ultraviolet Catastrophe?
Ultraviolet Catastrophe is a podcast by Antonio Martínez Ron, Javier Peláez and Javi Álvarez that tries to bring the world of science closer together through the most diverse areas of knowledge. Each episode is a sound experience that offers an approach to reality from unexpected perspectives and a good dose of humor.
From a technical point of view, each installment is also a small artistic composition, since it has original settings and music for each episode, sometimes staged in the old spirit of radio theater and sound shows. Everything to embark on a mental and sensory journey that transmits the love of science and the feeling that the world is yet to be discovered.
Released in early 2014 and winner of an Ondas award, Catastrofe Ultravioleta is a pioneering podcast in Spanish, with a huge community of followers. An innovative project that explores the sound format to tell stories, whose return arouses great expectations.
The fourth season of Ultraviolet Catastrophe can be heard on elDiario.es in early 2026.
