The dive flags (Alpha flag, and the red with a white stripe) indicate the presence of
divers in the water. Please don't fly it unless you actually have divers in the
water.
Both commercial and recreational dive boats have developed the habit of not
taking the flag down. This conveys inaccurate information to other boaters,
and will tend to cause them to ignore the dive flag.
