Mr Leech expressed the need to “keep banging the drum” around water safety in order to improve behaviour around the water. The Irish Coast Guard offers advice to those who may venture to local water amenities during the hot weather. The Irish Coast Guard also recommends to always enter the water feet first and to check tide times online or with the lifeguards. It is very important for leisure divers to contact their local coast guard radio station with your voyage details. The Irish Coast Guard warn divers to ‘plan your dive and dive your plan’.
