Default Re: Endurance Prop Bets (Pool & Ocean) in Turks & Caicos

I have done some cold cavern dives in fresh water to about 180' wearing a 3mm wetsuit w/o hoody.

I know people too that would consider this simple, at first(friends whove have dove the Andrea Doria, for instance), but there are other factors besides the "cold", even though biologically, there is no way around the fact the my body will radiate heat into the water and hypothermia will become a factor - the degree to which it will affect me is the question - and I honestly don't know the answer; I can only speculate. Additionally, there's the solitude. I can only speak to the medical professional at intervals predetermined. No food. Air temp fresh drinking water... and then there's the sun exposure.

For me, it seems doable but certainly not fun. I'm just too damn stoopid [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] to back down from a challenge.
