Endurance Prop Bets (Pool & Ocean) in Turks & Caicos

[coltranedog]

There is a slight difference between the water temperature where Huck made the bet (AC) and the water temp here in the Caribbean. That being said Mark is a pretty good fave.

Imagine a prop where you have to stay in a single spot, not talk to a single person, not be able to sleep and you have to be in this state for 24 hours straight...now imagine you are surrounded up to your neck by an entire ocean...

[coltranedog]

Hey I am not saying he is going to do it, i am just saying comparing it to Hucks bet is a bit of a stretch since the temperatures were way different.

I think that Sean will be lucky to last 8 hours.

seems like the ocean bet depends A LOT on how big the waves are. if he is constantly having to exert energy to stay at a depth that is somewhere between his head and shoulders he has no shot, but it its relatively calm and he pretty much just gets to chill in the same spot he might have a chance.

since he is a rescue diver and water temp is mid 80's in the caribbean right now this seems to be easily doable unless there is lot of tidal/wave action.

Is he doing in a bay or a beach facing the ocean?

He also will have to be allowed to wade within a certain area if there is a wide range in tide heights.

If it is choppy thu this could get very tiresome even for an excellent swimmer.

haha as a diver I'm sure he checked all the tides, swell period, temps etc.

All my action dry up? I was packing my bags...

If my Google searches are accurate, Huckleberry Seed had to be shoulder deep in the ocean for 18 hours, and he gave up after 3 hours.

The terms of the Seif-McCabe bet are in the full article. Sean McCabe has to be shoulder deep in the ocean for 24 hours, but like coltranedog pointed out, we are in tropical waters. Other than that, I'm not knowledgeable enough to comment on how that affects the health risks and dangers.
