Not wanting to start a new thread... but I'm thinking about driving up to Mt. Storm over Labor Day weekend for the very first time, with my son. We'd overnight somewhere Friday night, dive Saturday, overnight again, then drive back Sunday.
I understand dive flags are required, but not always enforced? Hmmm... don't have a dive flag, and will have to get one... Never used one either. Any trick to it, other than being careful not to get tangled; and not attach it anywhere in case it gets snagged by a boat?
I've been checking out lodging in the area. Not interested in camping. We're kind of asocial anonymous-chain-hotel types, if only because of the quality consistency. Thinking of staying up in Cumberland, about an hour and a half from Mt. Storm. Any thoughts?
If you are going to stay overnight, Cumberland is kind of far away. There are a few hotels/motels in Davis or Thomas WV that are nice and only 20min drives away.
As far as the dive flag, I just usually swim mine out to the buoy attached to the 25' platform and hook it on there before I start my dive. Or if you have it attached to a spool, just head to the platform 1st and drop it off till you're done your dives.
Have fun.
