"Daniil Gagarin, 30, desperately sought to rescue Emma Mönkkönen, 24, after she got into trouble in the raging waters off a resort at La Zorra cove in Torrevieja.

Watched by Daniil who was beside her, Emma — also a fitness coach — had jumped off the cliff in a daredevil leap.

She swam to a rock and tried to climb out but was washed out into the cove.

Both Daniil and his wife Darya, 24, are heard shouting to her, trying to guide her to safety.

As she is tossed around, Daniil is seen jumping into the stormy sea.

Astonishingly he manages to pull them both onto the top of a rock.

But agonisingly they cannot hold on and are washed into the raging Mediterranean.

In the tragic footage, Darya is heard crying hysterically as the pair are swept into the sea.

A major search and rescue was launched and the Finnish woman's body was found almost two miles from the cove.

The Russian man's body was found the next day.

Both had worked at a fitness centre at a gym in the Spanish resort.

Russian expat in Spain, Alyona Maas, hit out at “daredevil jumps from the rocks into the abyss” as “completely reckless”.
