    Welcome!

    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!

    For the moment, www.diveflagawareness.com will be pointing to this forum.

    All you need is Love!

    Pete,

    Thanks for starting this section... it will be a good place for divers to gain valuable information about a much overlooked topic.

    Divers, if you have yet to sign the petition for Dive Flag Awareness (DFA) please sign one now! See below.

    For now you can do that on-line here: Dive Flag Awareness

    Thanks again Pete for all you are doing for the cause!

    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.
