Swimming is an option in such a job. If you’re dropped in the middle of an ocean, where you wan swim go? After forty hours, you will succumb to weakness and eventually drown. If anything, someone who can’t swim will die first without wasting hope.

God abeg oo.

480k for an offshore is way too low for the risk. When people dey siddon for office (safely on land) dey collect more than times two of that amount.

Me wey dey risk my one life go come collect 480k? I dey craze. @OP go and learn how to swim ooo lol. The day kasala go burst, all your swimming lessons go turn practical grin cheesy

Jokes apart being in an hazardous situation in the middle of a water body (sea, lake, river) is a very terrifying experience. No be joke.

You good.i could not swim myself. Are there no safety procedures in place? I did offshore; 2weeks on 2 weeks off. Now the oilfield or offshore is not like it is before. I am now into cryogenic and renewable energy.

franchasofficia:
If you are aquaphobia, please consider quitting the job because no amount of salary can equate your life, and 480k is not huge enough to die on the offshore. Most of my course mates back then when we finished NYSC that got offshore jobs were earning a million plus for a two weeks in, two weeks out, and that's like almost a decade ago. I got similar offer later but never considered it cos I am aquaphobia.


Yes I applied for the job myself because we were just throwing our CVs everywhere as young Engineering graduates aiming to work in the oil sector, but when the job finally came and I realized it was offshore, I had to chicken out cos life is more precious than money for me.


So consider quiting if you are aquaphobia cos no amount of swimming class can change that.


But if you are not aquaphobia, then you can consider taking a swimming class to improve on your swimming ability in case of emergency. I wish you all the best.
Oh lord! Oh my Lord!!

What exactly will you be doing if you quit? There are no jobs out there. Nigeria is a mess now. Go and learn how to swim.

If jobs were readily available, do you think grown men and women would be up here every day defending clueless APC government for monthly stipends?
I will go back to my hotel work that I earn 45k per month my former boss said he will take me back
