AFAIK, I will be there. I brought fresh cranberry relish and barley pops the last couple years, and plan to do the same. I'll watch the thread and see what else is needed. I'm only about 20 min away, so I am flexible.

As it was interpreted to me by a FWC officer;
(my words from the interpretation not direct quotes from the officer)
The divers-down flag must be flown in the area where divers are shore diving. A divers-down flag inside the channel is either an emergency or a navigational hazard

Much like some of the tools found in the link you provided, I have constructed my own dive float that allows me to pull it underwater for a period of time and then deploy it again once I am in a safe area to deploy.
Thanks for the link
We've had this exact discussion many times on the way out to sites in Jupiter and PB...Good post. #2 is violated everyday by Palm Beach & Jupiter Inlet based charters. Divers are scattered all over the place with only their SMB's for protection from boat traffic until they can be retrieved.
Well, there were at least two tickets issued to divers this past summer at BHB for being a hazard in the channel. I don't know any of them personally, but I saw one getting the ticket and heard 3rd party about the other... I can only verify oneI honestly do not believe anyone would be cited using a properly dive flag marked lift-bag or your device. The mere challenge would interest me. I hate being told what to do. Let's have Dan lead a outing.

Excellent! It wouldn't be the same without you, since you have the fryer and flame! (We would have raw turkey everywhere)Nancy and I will bring a turkey frier and some oil.
The party is open to everyone (otherwise it would have been named "... BHB Turkey Fry, except for jet126")I would love to come it's ok. I will bring a fresh veggie platter with my secret homemade dill dip and a case of bottled water. I'm not a big fan of mur ... is a bottle of eniw appropriate?
