Thirteen people were rescued when two dive boats broke down off the East Sussex coast.
The first incident happened on Friday morning when a 6m rigid inflatable boat with six people on board became stranded ten miles south of Newhaven.
The crew of the Newhaven lifeboat found the vessel in thick fog and towed it back to harbour.
A second rigid inflatable with seven people on board broke down on Saturday evening 200m south of Seaford.
Five people were transferred to the lifeboat before the inflatable was towed back to Newhaven.
