Think before you leap ⚠️
You don’t always know what you’re jumping into.
Tombstoning from piers, cliffs, rocks or other structures into the sea can be extremely dangerous.
The depth of the water can dramatically change with the tide, and what was a deep pool at lunchtime might be a shallow puddle by teatime.
Hidden hazards may be lurking beneath the surface, and you may not know they’re there until you’re hurt or worse.
Cold water shock may make it difficult to swim to safety, and strong currents can quickly sweep you away.
In an emergency at the coast, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard 📞
