Hello all...
Looking to come down to BHB for the first time to do the snorkel trail with the family in a couple weeks. Was wondering if a dive flag is required (or recommended, if not required) when snorkeling the trail. This PB county flyer makes it seem required, but would be grateful for input from the pros here.

If you stay within the swimming area on snorkel, you do not need a flag. If going outside the area, yes, a flag is required.

(I believe high tide will be around 11 AM, so assuming good visibility and few clouds, sun should be fairly overhead)
