Who Thinks the Dive Flag is a Good Idea

'The folding divers' flag with a day-glow yellow pennant is considered to be the best all round location device. Devices including flags and paired buoys are more clearly observed when the search aspect is abeam to the direction of wind due to the larger surface area that is presented to the observer.

Kris at Scuba Save liked it so much he made this video.

Mike over at Gordonisimo.com wrote this outstanding review for the dive flag.

K2Scuba in Hollywood (we are certainly getting around these days) wrote a review about us on their facebook review page.

The Dorset Diving Sub-Aqua Club conducted a series of limited trials in collaboration with the Royal Naval Air Station at Portland. A selection of location devices was assessed and their relative merits and limitations highlighted. It was concluded that the folding divers flag was the best location device tested.

Flag best (simple, reliable) even catch light glimpse at night. Not convinced that it is possible to work flares with cold wet hands, difficult to blow whistle if full of water, and cold lips. Visual aid better, best if whistle in conjunction with this.

Flags very useful, especially rough seas, but not cheap.

Flag is very effective in daylight. It gives a much greater height than other manual devices and is convenient to carry strapped to the tank. Until you see it you don't realize how effective it is.

Flag best - cost effective, stowed easily by tank, easily deployed, and very visible with sufficient extension.

Flags are one of the best in my opinion.

All should be encouraged to carry a flag on open water dives. They are simple, cheap and require no maintenance or batteries.

I am considering an orange or day-glow flag.

Visual device is better than audible. Plan to get a flag.

Bright colored SMB or Flag advantage to hold above waves, and not too expensive

All experienced and as the not so experienced scuba divers will tell you, the sea is a volatile force that can change from minute to minute and just because it was a calm and tranquil millpond when you roll off the boat, when you surface, things may not be so straightforward when you need pulling in.

Millions of dollars are spent yearly on search and rescue for missing divers who are caught up in rough seas and unfortunately for more than we care to think about, the diving pastime can prove to be a fatal experience. In an attempt to reduce the chances of unsuspecting currents taking the diver out of sight of the dive boat, scuba divers around the world spend fortunes every year, updating their kit, keeping it in perfect working order and safety equipment is a vital and top priority for anyone who wants to enjoy the beautiful and exhilarating world of the oceans floor.
