We're in the middle of Florida's "Dive Flag Awareness Week". The event is designed to educate the general public AND dive industry about the PROPER use of dive flags. Chad Carney of FloridaSkinDiver.com writes that EVERY diver should take care to learn about how to correctly fly the popular red and white dive flag!
June 9, 2009 the Florida Governor & Cabinet proclaimed June 27 - July 3 the first "Dive Flag Awareness Week" and a future annual event, but it didn't happen in the blink of an eye. The roots of Dive Flag Awareness started in March of 2007 after freediver Ricardo Araujo was killed when hit by a boat off Miami, Florida.
