So 30-60 seconds before you start sucking water (HEA rounds if your
prepped as greg suggested?, HEA/4 if you weren't ready with a lung
of air?).

How long after you get your first lung of air do you pass out (ie can
no longer try saving yourself).

How long after pass-out are you "dead" (dead here defined as non revivable
through ordinary jaernian means not counting a resurrection).
