Don’t give in to peer pressure. Think before you jump
During the recent warm weather HM Coastguard has heard about people tombstoning all around the coast. But jumping from piers, rocks and heights into water can be very dangerous.
So please enjoy our beautiful coastline responsibly by not jumping into the unknown 
• Consider the risks to yourself and others. Young people could be watching and may attempt to mimic the activity
• The depth of water can dramatically change with the tide and you don’t know what hazards may be lurking under the surface
• The shock of cold water may make it difficult to swim to safety and strong currents can quickly sweep people away
• Remember: The UK’s seas never get that warm, even in the height of summer
• HM Coastguard advice is that if you do want to jump from height into the sea we would advise people join a coasteering group with a professional and reputable adventure centre. But the risks are always there
As ever, our message is: keep safe, but if you see anybody in trouble or if you get into difficulty, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard
