Welcome to c/WouldYouRather, where we present you with the toughest, most ridiculous choices you never knew you had to make! Would you rather have a third arm that's only useful for picking your nose, or be able to talk to animals but only if they're wearing hats? Yeah, it's that kind of vibe. Come for the absurdity, stay because you've clearly got nothing better to do with your life.

I can tread water for over 30 minutes, 30 seconds is nothing. Even if there is a storm, just hold your breath for 30s. Sure, unpleasant. Worth it.
Assuming it's always at the surface of course. Deep sea pressure would be a death sentence.
Yeah i read the whole thing thinking about the pressure. It only mentions a thermal suit for when its cold, but isnt it rather likely that the random spot you get telepoorted to is just too deep?
It's gotta be a safe part (pressure and temperature wise) because they're letting you have sick days and they're giving you the thermal suit. This challenge is about surviving life in the sea, not uninhabitable environments imo
So can you tread water/hold your breath for 30 seconds. Yes, very easily. Honestly I would even take it without the thermal suit if I can have a little time to practice dealing with the cold shock response in colder water. The part of the UK I live in doesn't get much below 10°c which is the coldest water I have gone into without any protection.
