PE Lifeboat issues safety advice

Port Erin lifeboat is reminding harbour users to be considerate towards others as sunny weather tempts more people into the water.

The RNLI station says swimmers, boats and divers all have areas of the bay set aside for them and is reminding each group to be aware of the others.

It says it wants to make the sea safe for all and says people should follow safety guidelines and check the tides before venturing into the water.

And it adds if you see someone in trouble in the sea, you shouldn't hesitate to dial 999 or 112 and ask for the coastguard.
