These flags are the two known international diver down flags namely the red and white flag and the white and blue flag. For this reason, you’re guaranteed safety no matter the country you’ll be diving in.

If you want much more than a simple flag, this is it. 3. Innovative Scuba Concepts Torpedo Buoy Orange W/LINE The SeaGator Dive Flag is a flag and nothing more. However, that would be a major understatement of its quality in terms of the features and attention to detail given to this flag. In our review, we all agreed that it’s the one flag all divers ought have in their toolbox. Diver Below Signals The rules governing the use of a dive float and dive flag vary by state and locality. If you see this flag waving above the water, keep your distance and wait for further instructions from whoever put up the diver down pole before you proceed with whatever task you were working on. What are the two types of diver down flags?The "Alpha" or "Alfa" flag (left) and red-and-white flag (right), both meaning "I have a diver down; keep well clear at slow speed" Commercial divers and deep sea divers with air hoses will display the alfa flag not only to warn of divers below but also to warn other vessels that the ship has restricted movements due to divers attached to air lines. However, they take out their little flags and send each other messages. On a boat, everybody understands the meaning of nautical flags from a distance and without a word. The buoy is a bright-orange color and, together with the white and red flag, is highly visible from afar.

When it’s not practical for a vessel to display the lights and shapes required by the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (IRPCS) Rule 27 (e). This can be due to the large size of the vessel or a malfunction and unavailability of these features. Always look for flags that meet the legal regulations in the area where you are going to dive. Different states or countries might have different regulations when it comes to dive flags.According to DAN, when the diving flag is flown from a boat, it must be at the vessel’s highest point and measure at least 50×60 cm / 20×24 in.

A float will keep the flag up while you are diving. Prolonged saltwater exposure can weaken standard silk material. Hence dive flags are made with durable nylon or polyester fibers. There Are Mainly Two Types of Diver Down Flags and It Can Be Confusing Make sure to give a wide berth to any diver-down flags you encounter. Be a responsible vessel operator and keep your eyes peeled for any signs of dive flags or surface buoys.

It’s important to always bring a dive flag when you dive into making sure you’re seen by other vessels. Source Tough, rugged, and built like a tank, this spearfishing float is built to withstand hard use in the saltwater environment. The outer shell is constructed of hard polyethylene plastic, while the inner portion is filled with high-quality polyurethane foam to increase density and buoyancy. The best and simple method of doing this is by using a needle and thread to stitch the flag. Even the basic thread will work, but if you want to get the best results, use a specialized nylon thread. Another divers down symbol that is a similar warning device to that of a flag is a delayed surface marker buoy (DSMB). Can be used for various activities including free diving, scuba diving, beach diving and diving lessons as well.This kit comes with a 100 feet high visibility finger spool dive reel from ABS on a neon yellow line. With the double-ended brass hook, you’re sure of staying visible and safe as you dive to 100 feet below the surface of the water. The presence of a blue and white alfa dive flag, on the other hand, has a broader implication- “ The vessel in the vicinity of this flag is engaged in underwater operations or is inoperable. Please maintain distance and exercise caution.” Underwater operations can mean a lot of things apart from scuba diving. The alfa flag is generally used by research divers and vessels.
