Members of Arran Coastguard rescue team recently undertook two days of water rescue training under the instruction of senior coastal operations officers Peter Stewart and Steve Muldoon.
Lochranza pontoon was the location for some of the excercises.
The water rescue qualification is compulsory for all coastguard rescue personnel and the training saw all seven team members successfully pass the course, which encompassed safety and rescue techniques for both coastal and river inci dents. The next few weeks will see the team members also undergoing their regular re-evaluation as a rope rescue team.
