Warning Markers
It is a good idea to ask local authorities if there are hazardous areas and how they are marked. Boaters must also recognize the flag designs, which indicate that skin divers are present and keep well clear of the area.
Skin Diver Warning Flag
Watch for swimmers. Swimming areas may not be marked. Steer clear from the area and remain alert.
