This time of the year every diver should set a dive flag even if he or she is with a group. Do it now until the end of summer or when the boat traffic drops off again.. The more the merrier. Maybe we can get their attention by shear numbers. And treat the lake like diving in an overhead environment. Don't surface until the water is shallow enough to stand up in. If you have to surface away from the shore and away from your bouy, shoot your SMB during the safety stop. Besides its good practice .

Great advice Steve!
