In the 1982 page, knows anybody what means 'Water jump'?

Due to the long distance between their nearest air strip on Ascension Island and the RN Task Force operating near the Falklands, the only way to send certain specialists personnel down to the task force was to let them jump from a Hercules into the cold Atlantic (thas's why it's called a water jump) next to the ships, to be hopefully picked up ASAP... - quite brave, especially if you consider that most of these men were no trained paratroopers (the Hercules were hastily equipped with refuelling probes that they didn't have before for reinforcing the task force + dropping special operations units).
