Understanding Dive Flags


Dive flags are more than just symbols of scuba diving; they are essential safety tools recognized worldwide. Not only do they represent the exhilarating sport, but they are also mandated by local laws in many regions to ensure diver safety.

In the United States, the dive flag is typically red with a white diagonal stripe running from the top left to the bottom right. These flags, usually made of vinyl, can be mounted in various ways. On a boat, they might be displayed on a fiberglass staff with a wire to keep the flag unfurled. If diving without a boat, a float is used to keep the flag visible on the water’s surface. Several attachment options, such as inner tubes, are available to ensure the flag remains buoyant and noticeable.

Visibility is crucial. Laws regarding how close boats can approach dive flags vary depending on location but generally require a distance of 50 to 150 feet. Divers are often required to surface within 25 feet of the flag to avoid accidents. If diving over a larger area, multiple flags should be placed no more than 100 feet apart for optimal visibility.

Internationally, a different flag comes into play: the alpha flag. This swallow-tailed blue and white flag is used when diving from a vessel, indicating to others that the vessel has restricted maneuverability due to diving operations.

Dive flags are not only among the most affordable pieces of scuba equipment but also among the most essential. They serve as a visual warning to boaters and a life-saving measure for divers. Always ensure your dive flag is clearly visible and adhere to local regulations for a safe diving experience.
