The ambulance service was called to a teenager who dived headfirst into shallow water off the eastern harbour arm in Southwick yesterday.

Tony Parker, director of engineering at Shoreham Port, said a teenage boy, who was with a group of others, had dived into the sea at around 3.30pm yesterday (Wednesday, August 8).

He said: “Unfortunately, the water there was only four foot deep and he hit the bottom.
