Two divers have been rescued after getting into trouble off the Dorset coast.

They were seen calling for help outside Lulworth Cove on Sunday afternoon.

An ambulance, air ambulance, lifeboat and Lulworth Coastguard Rescue Team were called to the scene.

The pair were picked up by jet skiers and kayakers before being transferred to a dive boat which brought them to shore.

A Kimmeridge Coastguard spokesman said the divers were checked for injuries and decompression sickness but did not need to go to hospital.
