Spend a little over 15 hours in the ocean for 100 million, spread out over 5 years? Yeah I think I can handle that. I'd have to get better at swimming though. Storms would be scary, and honestly the biggest threat would be waste dumps and ships, but I think I could take that risk. It seems to be that you'd be at the surface so I'd want clarification on that one.

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.

The bends!
If I die, I die
So, every day at a set time for five years, I get to experiment with a highly sophisticated novel technology in a repeatable experiment to figure out how it works?
Sounds like that alone is worth more than $100M
I have a very large fear of the open ocean, and even I'd take that deal
Fuck. Yes.
Absolutely I would take this deal.
I thoroughly enjoyed swimming in the open ocean the few times I've had a chance to and would love to do it again. I'm sure there would be some days that would be quite frightening, but I'll bet there would be a bunch of days that I would be disappointed with only 30 seconds.
As mentioned by a few, I'm assuming this means the surface of the ocean and not random depths, which would mean instant death at some point and would make the deal completely un-survivable.
Get a life!
