That's why I always launch my 6' sausage during my safety stop. Even though that only gives the pleasure boats a target to aim for... if they're at least a little diver savy... maybe they'll stay away from the sausage.
A couple of weeks ago I went out with Pura Vida Divers, and after Trevor picked me up, he had to gun it in order to cut off a pleasure boat that was heading directly for a group of our divers with the flag...
