A member of the public called 999 to report what looked to be two ‘bodies’ in the water close to a sandbank off W Wittering Beach. The D-Class lifeboat went to the identified spot and found two snorkellers very much alive, and no other casualties in the water. After checking back with Solent Coastguard and the telephone caller to ensure the lifeboat was in the correct area the crew advised the snorkellers to contact Solent Coastguards if they were going to swim again in this area.
