Diver Down Flags

Scuba divers or snorkelers should display a Diver Down flag that marks the diving area:

A rectangular red flag, at least 15" by 15", with a white diagonal stripe is required on state waters.

A blue and white International Code Flag A (or Alpha flag) is required on federal waters.

Vessels must remain at least 100 feet away from the person in the water.
