Lil38:I've never toted the dive flag in my group. Is it difficult? I guess it causes some drag? Would it be too much to tote if it were larger? I don't mean re-design the dive flag colors or anything. I'm just thinkin' more visible- or would that even matter. (CBulla- please tell me this yanking isn't routine! :11: ) Maybe the addition of day-glo colored flag on taller stick? I dunno, only had 6 ocean dives so far... no problems of any nature (lucky us!) I did think to myself tho... I don't know how the crew can see those flags so well. They get old, discolored, beat up etc. but it's the crew's job and they keep an eye on them from the moment they leave the boat. I know there are inconsiderate boaters. I just have to believe for the most part, this happens because the flags aren't very visible.
lol I find it helps my buddy focus on ME! (It's all about me, right?)CBulla:I've been the flag toter for most of the dives I've been on. I find it keeps me focused on the group and I dont lose my buddy that way... SNIP

The flag grab and yank bit is pretty common on the East coast. I have pictures of Marine Patrol hitting dive flags, then yanking the flags and/or revving their engines over the divers.
