After another seemingly never-ending winter, the sea is finally returning to a temperature that can be enjoyed by those of us who don’t have winter wetsuits. This means more people getting back in the water, enjoying the coast and the amazing scenery it offers. But as we all know, it also increases the chance of accidents and in severe cases, fatalities.

In the last week, two people have lost their lives in coasteering and tombstoning incidents. The RNLI have been quick to respond with a media release containing safety advice for both activities and further clarifying the difference between them.
