A few questions for those out there in the tropical paradise known as Nigeria....

The Agbami field is about 50 miles off-shore Brass where there is a good strip for a single engine landing and emergency services. Do SOP's include that as an onshore diversion in case of situations like this one?

What kind of SAR exists now days.....still based in Lagos and relies upon a machine being on the ramp between passenger flights?

What would have been the response time for airborne SAR for a "injured folks" in the water"?

Is the case still one of SAR help is still just a "hope" away?
