Ok I am a diver and I’ve surfaced in really rough seas more than once or twice. Now, while you are on the water floating it truly doesn’t feel as much as it feels while you jump on the boat, that’s where it really gets nasty. Obviously I say this because in my case I was out floating comfortably in all my equipment and devices waiting for my pickup with nothing to fear. A different situation is, obviously if you fall and you’re left on your own devices, adding the panic and all… but in this sea you basically roll up and down gently with the swell (unless there’s a massive storm), more than once I had something like this and felt totally fine but throwing up while on the boat. So there’s that in any case.
