Drowning in _water_ is a bad thought. This has to be near the top of ways not to go. I don't know what I'd do. Stuck in a big sh*thole, and I know it. Dive in and inhale or struggle in a full four-limbed panic? I don't see a merciful exit unless maybe I have a lighter to ignite the methane and go out with a bang.
