o.k im a tool and i made a resolution not to post new stuff....
I believe this is a genuine "point of intrest" to recreational snorkelers(crabbers)
There was no wind but a few boat out at my local beech.
I will stress the importance of people who are snorkelling for craps etc. to tie a univeral dive flag againt the waist.
I believe that what i witnessed at my local beech and other beeches i go to that it is now "UNSAFE" to snorkel without a flag.
A dive flag dosent cost much but i believe that it will save your life from getting run over from a boat of (windsurfers/kite-surfers)

A PLEE
please use a dive flag if you are snorkeling in areas where there are high water users....
This includes areas where there are boats windsurfers and kite surfers
I feel strongly that some of these crabbers are certainly placing themsleves at risk by not making there whereabouts visible



Im not tryn to be a troll but feel strongly that someone namley(snorkelers) willl get killed sooner or later.
Thats all sorry to trouble everyone with the topic.
I do hope people who read this take note and fork out 14 dollars at e.g some crappy boat shop e.g BCF
I make the statement that .......
Someone is going to KILLED sooner or later.
Its difficult to get a visual on 3 inches of snorkel.

Out at boat harbour we have found most snorklers using these (or something similar) lately and it makes it so much easier to see them.

Nothing worse than being mid jump and spotting your landing around about a previously submerged snorklers head.

We had one of our guys on our GPS team comment one day about snorklers popping up in inconvenient places one day.

The next day I had one of my sales reps say that he almost got run down by a windsurfer at our local (shows it's a small world). After hearing his tale I pointed out that he was obliged to have a dive flag on his boat and if he did then we were also obliged to keep away from them.

Here's more on the rules and reg's

All I can say is /

to this idea..we have a dive flag now and it is a pain
to pull around...I will go and see about getting one of these,
Busterwa...this is a good tool
and if you had not mentioned it..I would still be dragging the
old one around

Was sailing with a mate two seasons ago, 200m off shore and missed a dude swimming by about 2m. Had no idea he was there till he was past our Stern. He must of been a long distance swimmer training?? (or had a death wish). We were doing about 7 knots, would of smashed his head in with the bow then the centre board would of cut him in half....

if u use one of those then somebody will steal your cray spots !!!!!
