Greetings everyone! With the aftermath of Rob Murphy losing his legs and a recent close call I had in the Keys, I thought it very important that we commit an entire forum to this subject, and try to cover as many State Variations as possible. So, please start a thread about your state, even if you DON'T know the laws there. Also, this is a great place for us to discuss our strategies for increasing Dive Flag Awareness to the boating public!

Cool--I was just going to post that same link, Knotical. Dive-Flag.com was started a few years back and has most of the states covered. I remembered it because I contributed the Oregon excerpt. Divers from Georgia, Maine, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, and Puerto Rico please note that webmaster Chris says he needs contributions . . .
If leading dives is herding cats, is leading training dives herding Schrodinger's cats?
And the SB Politeness Award goes to . . . Doc Vikingo, for "I find this assertion not compelling." The measure of a good dive plan is its impermeability.
Poor dive plans, on the other hand, tend to be water-soluble.
