The "no flags in Jupiter" thing may be out past the 3-mile limit; I remember a discussion with an FWC officer once where he tried trotting out the dive flag argument to our boat and the DM pointed out that we were in federal waters. Most northern Palm Beach County boats will just have one flag on the DM and require the remaining divers to have SMBs. I sure as hell am not towing a flag when I'm 120' down in a current trying to poke around the Deep Ledge for lionfish.

I sure as hell AM pulling a float on the deep ledge. It's a pain, but I'm just not comfortable not taking one under most conditions.

This video shows what a pain it is when the surface is going hard..
