It was cool however he was either brave or knew what the bottom was like and how deep it would be. Also, I would want a back up plan as just a little bit of water and in the wrong component and you will be dead in the water, way out in the water!!

Still, I want to experience a ride in water up to the windshield!!!

He is one of my A1-pals here in Sweden. If I remember correct his jeep originate from the Danish army and he has made great efforts for this snorkling ride.

The lake is actually an artificially made pond to be a reserve for the nereby electric power plant, so he knows about the depth.

Never the less, it is a ver cool film.
