When experiencing cold water immersion, what is crucial for an overboard person to do if possible?

  1. Perform a dance

  2. Get out of the water as soon as possible

  3. Drink the water

  4. Dive underwater

The correct answer is: Get out of the water as soon as possible

When experiencing cold water immersion, the priority is to get out of the water as soon as possible. This is because staying in the cold water for a prolonged period can lead to hypothermia, a serious condition that can be life-threatening. Performing a dance or drinking the water will not provide immediate relief or help in getting out of the water. Diving underwater may also be dangerous as it can disorient the person and make it harder to find an exit. Therefore, the best option is to get out of the water as quickly as possible.
