Default Re: big pine trip

Not being a jerk here (I'm new to this forum), but keeping the dive flag up all the time is technically illegal, and at best, irresponsible.

From: http://www.dtmag.com/Stories/Dive%20...03-Feature.htm

Quote:
Like California, you can’t fly the flag unless you have divers in the water. “The divers down flag must be lowered once all divers are aboard or ashore. No person may operate any vessel displaying a divers down flag unless the vessel has one or more divers in the water.”
If you violate a dive flag law in Florida, as a diver, you will be subject to a noncriminal infraction, with a fine of up to $50
Looks like a nice haul in any case. We do much the same with the rock outcroppings up here in the NE.
