- Circle it on your jet ski
- Pull your boat up to it and fish near by

So I guess my question/comment/rant is.. Who else has had experiences like this... and how bad is it.. or is it just a I have crappy luck.
Now for what has happened to me...
_______________
Twice now we went and dove at a local lake used a bright yellow innertube that said DIVER on it and a big Dive flag sticking out of the top both times. Seems the local boaters and Jet Skiers dont understand what this means the Jet Skiers were seen (after getting out to watch and see what happens) doing circles around the float in a no wake area no less!
While doing one dive I heard for the first time a jet ski passing right over me.. WOW let me tell you I didnt expect it to be so loud.. I was 20ft under but I was kindof freaked for a second (till my brain said your 20ft under idiot)
I am sick of it, How hard is it to read a buoy or know what the Dive flag is! I swear it just makes me mad I mean during one night dive we ascend and not 20 ft away is a boat trolling along the people casting out to said float (this time we had a strobe on it and it wasnt even that dark..)
I wish that people had to take classes on how to drive boats or jet skis and get a license like you do for a car. I guess I am going to have to make a flag of some sort that reads "DIVER DOWN STAY AWAY!!!" unless they ignore it than put some expletives in it. :razafraz:
