As long as it's survivable, piece of cake. Very unlikely to be eaten, freeze to death, etc in 30 seconds and if it's unbearable 50 skips. Too easy unless it's at any depth. Then it's far more likely to die. Way more volume than surface area.

    You can hold your breath for 30s easy

    Not at 100 meters deep, you can’t!

    There are depths of the sea where divers have to use special exotic mixes of gas because the pressure pushes gases into your bones and stuff. Divers going into and coming out of these areas have to do so very slowly. Look into saturation diving and barotrauma if this topic is interesting. But the gist is, if you're getting teleported anywhere in the ocean, not just the surface, you're screwed. You simply cannot go from normal air pressure, to depth pressure, back to normal air pressure that quickly and not have problems.

    My intuition was a bit off, if seems. My point was that at a certain depth, the pressure will start wreaking havoc with your internals. But the free dive record seems to be 126 meters, so I obviously should have gone with a bigger number 😅

    If you remember to take a deep breath. My ADHD ass would 100% forget by day 3.

    DW about the ADHD. If you took a deep breath and suddenly transported to several hundred metres down, the pressure change would cause your lungs to implode. A similar fate to OceanGate except the debris would be your chest.

    Most of the human body is solid or roughly equal in density to water, however not all of it is, namely the lungs. Getting suddenly teleported to the Titanic would subject your body to crushing pressure. Somehow I think that might be unsurvivable.
