While 103' water depth is plenty deep, survivalists say that even 7' of water is dangerous without a PFD. To survive in those waters, they suggest you minimize your motions: Take a breath at the surface and exhale slowly while sinking to the bottom at those relatively shallow depths. When you need air, push off from the bottom, take another breath at the surface, and repeat.
(Sounds like a lot of work to me).
"Size 52 denims" though, give FLL an ample survival edge on the rest of us for cold and deep water rescue.
