Goumba Flag.jpeg Have you heard about the change in Florida's dive flag law that now allows the use of dive floats? We thought it was a pretty good idea and decided to find out more. The Goumba flag is a robust and highly visible diver down marker that adds another level of safety. The built in strobe makes them perfect for night use. The fine folks at Goumba Flags are supporters of the world record dive of Allen The Grouper Sherrod
