As the start of the traditional watersports season begins, the Llandudno Coastguard is reminding recreational users that the law has changed.

"If you use a powered watercraft, such as a jet ski, in a dangerous manner you’ll be held to the same laws as ships and fishing vessels. Serious breaches of the legislation could see you facing a fine or imprisonment."

A spokesperson for the service added: "If you are heading out on a Jetski make sure that you have a means of communication, know the “rules of the road” and familiarise yourself with the tides, currents and hazards of the area that you will be visiting."

"If you should run into any kind of difficulty you can contact the Coastguard by phoning 999 or messaging on VHF Channel 16."
