    The temperature of the water is critical. The Germans did some experiments on this during the War.

    I did not consider that at all Malizz. But of course it would matter greatly if the water is very very cold. Don't know how long a body can survive in very cold water. Just though of a question. There are icedbergs in the oceans but can ocean water freeze? Im gonna ask. Thank you for your reply and Happy Sunday! :)
