After the ‘incident’ last night where members of the public called out the Coastguard and Lifeboat (x2!), because they saw what they thought were people in distress, when it was only two ‘Bristol’ spearfishers enjoying a night dive!!

So to avoid the Coastguard and Lifeboat being called out again, please can you contact the Coastguard when we are about to go night diving and more importantly when you get out!

good point flyflicker.
I have to say that i am always impressed that 'members of the public' do actually react when they see possible 'people in distress' situations; encouraging to know that if i do throw up a flare or blow a whistle that someone may react :)
