So, to drag up old posts, what book was Sam writing, and is it available, also, does anyone know how this story ends? I knew Doc from years of diving at Vortex and have heard the story from his side for over 20 years now. Very curious.
Scuba symbol owned by anyone?

and otherwise let's remember the alpha flag (international maritime flag, official in quite a few places) is "open source"

I don't know if Sam ever published his book or not or if Dockery was able to get a hold of him in the end, but Doc passed away in 2014 and Sam recently in 2023.
I have old motion pictures of shipwreck salvagers from Scapa Flow in 1919-1924 that show a the alpha and what appears to be a red square flag on a metal buoy. Fast forward to Pearl Harbor in the 40s and we see a tugboat mast arrangement flying two balls and a diamond along with a alpha flag but no red square flag.
But I do have a Diver down flag from 1958 from a friend who worked at Doc's shop in Flint.
