I attended a DAN talk recently and was introduced to the idea of diving with a dive flag.
Where I'm from (SE Asia), I've never heard of such a thing, or seen anyone use one. It was the first time I learned there was such a practice.
The DAN spokesperson said the tragedy at Bali where divers got lost could have been prevented by the use of a dive flag.
I'm just wondering, how do you properly use a dive flag during a dive? What are the procedures, and possible hazards to look out for?
What safety rules to follow when diving with one?
And what is a good one to buy?
