DIVING AND SNORKELING

All persons involved in diving or snorkeling operations should clearly mark the area using either the code alpha flag (white and blue) or diver flag (red with vertical white stripe) as shown.

Boat operators should always stay a minimum distance of 100-200 feet from any boat displaying the Alpha flag or any float or boat showing the diver flag. Slow down to no wake speed and operate with caution anytime you observe underwater operations.
