Police, coastguards and harbour officials searched the inner harbour area in Douglas this morning, after two people were seen to enter the water and not re-emerge.
The search lasted for about 90 minutes, before it was established those concerned were safe and well.
Authorities say no action will be taken against them, but the incident is a reminder of the danger of swimming in harbour areas, particularly when alcohol is involved.
The two people were both visitors to the Island.
