An Australian on a surf trip a few years ago fell off a boat in the Mentawais and survived 27 hours with no flotation help.

75 hours in cold water is crazy, but the diver didn't have to keep himself afloat. I find it almost unbelievable that it's possible to swim and tread water -- even in warm salt water -- for 27 hours.
