The RNLI volunteers were tasked to an area near Fisherman's Jetty, and got both the inshore rescue hovercraft and inshore rescue lifeboat prepared to launch.

However, the casualties made their own way to safety and both vessels were stood down.

The crews have issued the following safety reminder:
