The fine weather on Sunday meant a busy day for the RNLI volunteers at Tenby, who were called to assist in three separate incidents.
The first launch for the station's Tamar class RNLI lifeboat, the Haydn Miller, came at 12.30 pm, following concerns for the safety of two divers who had separated from a group diving out of Stackpole. As the lifeboat made its way to the scene, the divers appeared.
The second call-out came just half-an-hour later, following reports of three swimmers in difficulty nine miles down the coast from Tenby.
Before search and rescue units arrived, a dive boat had rescued all three. They were transferred on to the lifeboat and one had to be winched to hospital by an RAF helicopter. The remaining two were taken back to Tenby on board the lifeboat.
At 5 pm, the Tamar RNLI lifeboat was called to action again following reports of a broken down vessel at Freshwater East. When the volunteer RNLI crew arrived, the boat was already being towed in by a local vessel. The lifeboat escorted the boats back towards the harbour.
