my question is well off the topic.......

I was thinking about this MN option also.

My only problem is that i'm a crap swimmer - i can just about manage the 50m swimming requirement that BA stipulated for their CEP.

So how good does your swimming have to be? A friend of mine is doing a ocean mapping excercise in the North Sea and has had to learn how to escape a helicopter undewater. - I can barely hold my breath under water let alone keep my eyes open, so god knows how i'd escape a helicopter that's plunged into the sea!!!!

Does this all mean a life on the ocean is out of the question for me ????

Thanks for any info anyone can provide.
