Well, the part I'm worried about is that, since I only have a breath-hold time of 20 seconds, I'll have to descend and ascend at 3,960 feet per second, or four times the speed of sound (not to mention 1/6th the speed of the space shuttle). The sonic boom may have an unintended effect on the fish. Also the neoprene on my wetsuit may melt and become bonded to my skin, bringing a new meaning to, "Dang, why didn't I bring the hair conditioner this time." But heck, we've got two weeks to figure it out ...
