This picture was taken in south Louisiana on a dock where this guy was brought in.
He didn't make it, and they didn't have a dive flag out. Don't let this happen to you.

There was a diver in the middle of the St Marks River on Memorial Day weekend. Dive Flag was out, he was alone. His bubble were 100yrds from where his flag was. I slowed other boaters down. So he didnt have that out-come. Guy was oblivious to the boats in area. When he made way back to boat, I left. Hope it was nobody on this forum.

You can't fix stupid. Flag or not that's idiotic, especially Memorial Weekend.
