You know what time it is so you could hyper oxygenate for a few minutes and be fine. 30 seconds isn’t that long and I don’t think it’s long enough to trigger the bends.
I’d do it at any survivable depths, especially since it said you’d have safety equipment, even though I’m not sure you’d need that either in 30 seconds.
I think bends only applies if you inhale compressed air at low depths and come up, because the 1L of air at -200m expands as you go up. Air you breath at sea level would compress down to nothing, which might mean that your chest cavity gets crushed, even at levels that are normally okay for divers. Rapid changes in either direction are what kills you.
I tend to agree. I usually claim that I can’t swim, as what I do doesn’t really constitute swimming, but I can stay afloat and move in a deliberate direction.
A complicating factor: Swells and bad weather make it a lot harder. But on the flipside, no matter how badly it goes, if I’m teleported back in 30s I’d just fill my lungs beforehand. I can hold my breath for much longer than that, and even if I couldn’t, it would take more than 30s to die from oxygen deprivation - just make sure I have EMTs on standby for when I return.
I think you gotta be reeeeally unlucky to be eaten by something within 30 seconds of arriving.
And the chances for dangerous shore positioning are really slim because the ocean is fucking huge. I’d say chances are that you won’t even be able to see land during all of those 30 second rounds. Source: I work with/on ships
I can hold my breath for 30 seconds. If I know it’s going to happen I’ll prepare with a full lung.
I assume I won’t be sent to something like the marianas trench where the pressure either coming or going would kill me, and since after the 30 seconds I’ll be dry even if I mess up and take in some seawater worst case it will be a terrible few minutes of gasping when I’m back.
Edit: I have no idea how “I won’t be sent to”, got turned into “intelligent” by autocorrect.
That was an autocorrect issue. I literally said “I won’t be sent to” and somehow my voice to text changed it to “intelligent”
I literally meant that assuming that the rules of the game didn’t mean you would be instantly killed, then you had an incredibly high chance of surviving.
Surface of the ocean or anywhere from the deepest trench up?
Surface, no brainer, I can swim for 30s. Below the surface, you’ll be like the surfaced blob fish before the end of the first month.

The only real danger seems to be getting slammed against some rocks or getting bitten by something
But if it’s truly random, the second one becomes a lot less likely?

Yeah the only one I’d really worry about is teleporting into s boat prop, rocks or reef, or maybe jellyfish. This stings hurt for a long time.
Jellyfish stings.

Marianas trench would crush your chest cavity and blowout your eardrums, so I dont think you’ll survive 30s there.

I did struggle to read it :(
Agreed, if there is no teleport into insta-death, its definitely survivable.
