The primary danger present in the Bering Sea is the cold water temperature. The average water temp is in the 35-45 degrees Fahrenheit range in the summer, and below 32 degrees over the winter. At the warmer temperatures, a human falling into the water unprotected will survive 30-90 minutes, at the cooler temps, less than 15 minutes. As the core temperature drops, extremities start numbing. As it drops further, exhaustion sets in and eventually unconsciousness. I've added a link below to cold water survival information.
