I don't think extremophiles are a problem. Your body temperature isn't exactly extreme so those bacteria will die in your body.

Ugh, you're just like my family. "Why can't we just go camping in the woods, like normal people? Why do you always want to descend two miles below the surface of the pacific?"

Amateurs.

A weekend trip to the bottom of the pacific sounds lovely* but I think I'd take fresh water along rather than going to the hassle of desalinating. But camping is nice too ...

* Sounds like something a wife would say "sounds lovely dear but I booked us in to visit my mother, maybe next time".
