Interesting, I was near that same location - however my legs were broken... crawled to the ocean, started crawling underwater.

I remembered to grab a screenie, posted it on steam: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=106975710 hope they fix it. :)

I wonder if you could somehow drown to death from that.

Yea I think you can drown in Arma, when you do stuff like that - it takes a while though.

Also when your legs are broken and you attempt to swim, obviously the swim animation won't work, I don't know what you'd consider 'fixing' though, maybe a doggy-paddle? The risk of infection from swimming with a wounded leg would be obscene though o.O
