However... I recieved this in email quite a few months ago.. Maybe more... And it really *does* sound like an urban legend. Don't want to ruin the fun, but I'd like everyone to keep it in mind.

I mean, think about it! Would there really be no filtration system in place? That would mean that all the salt in the water is getting pumped in as well, and that would itch like HELL. Let's not forget plant matter and all that other lovely stuff that floats around in the water... Small fish... I mean, really now.
Hell, the salt alone is liable to collect in the bottom of said guy's suit and weigh him down, possibly tearing it or rendering him unable to swim.
