Besides playing with the depth of the weight to hang until you reach the depth you prefer, it also keeps it from being blown upside down by the wind. In low-wind situations, the flag acts as a sail, but there is no need to add a weight. If I am towing it off my belt or speargun, I will use a 50mm. This rope is 100 ft in length. Making an anchor with your dive weights or rope, burlap sack, and stones, and dropping the anchor in a location where you plan to stay will help to keep the area safe. It is very handy that the middle of the buoy tube can be used to store things like drinking water or extra rope. This buoy is highly visible, making it good to put in places with high boat traffic.
There is no free dive if you have to be taken to the diving site and if you do the dive yourself. Free equipment is given to you.
In the same box were the flag, the pole, and the flag
No officially it is stated that it is not a flotation device, but realistically it does not appear to be one. Although it is smaller, it is more susceptible to tipping if someone hangs heavily on one side. It has been hung on by my kids a few times without a problem.

Although it floats well, after 8 uses, the flag tips over to the point that it can no longer be seen. A flag tips more in sun with the longer the elbows are in the sun. The elbows are made of cheap plastic, so the flag tips more in the sun. My item should not have to be fixed with zip ties and duct tape for the $40 I paid for it. The return of the item would not solve the problem because a replacement will probably cause the same problem and I need it for lobster season now. do not recommend this product. In the attached photo you can see it right before a snorkel trip, but depending on the wind it just gets worse.
The flag does not feel like a cloth flag, but rather like a vinyl material that could be used for an air mattress. Also, since the flag is not cloth, I don't think I will have too many issues with it in the water. The pouch is located in the center of the bag. As many as four can be held In case you are wondering how large it is, there are five soda cans inside. For night scuba diving, it would probably be a great idea to stick a light in it. The flag holder has been criticized by someone, but maybe homeboy just got a bad one. The one I bought had straight metal rods. Here, I am holding it up next to my aluminum 80 tank for a size reference, so you can see it isn't It takes up about the same amount of space as a pair of rolled up jeans when folded up. It also looks like it would be relatively easy to patch if it ever became punctured. This is over This is something I agree with. Ah yeah, and if you get this float, or any other with a rubber clip for attaching your reel too, be sure to use a carabineer or a snap ring to attach it. A string tied directly to the rubber piece at the bottom of the float may cause the strings to cut through the rubber as though they are saws. So attach some sort of smooth clip to the bottom rubber piece so that your float will last for.
When I used this for the first time, seadoo's and boats rolled it over and I lost it. On the day following the dive, one of my dive buddies found the flag at It's a nice product at a great price, but do use paracord or something else to tie the flag to the flotation so if it rolls over from the topside idiots you won't lose it.
So far I have only used it on a couple dives, but it seems to work. The hole in the bottom is closed so that it is basically a donut. In order for that well to remain stable, we inserted rocks (without edges) in it on the first dive. We hung four pounds of dive weights off the bottom strap on our second dive, according to design. In breezy, wavy conditions, there were no stability problems. A good job was done towing. As we were at the surface, we liked the way the perimeter line would keep us held in place. As a pool toy with vinyl around it but with a heavier gauge.
The only way I can keep it upright is by either purchasing a solid lead weight or coming up with some other method. The lead weight clips (the ones that go on a dive belt) can also be attached to it. Despite the fact that the poles collapse, they are easy to set up and the vinyl should keep their shape. Boaters I don't trust think a dive flag is an important safety feature, so I don't expect them to know what it There is an added benefit for that since the text is on the float. 'Ohhhh, I see what that flag means now. It will just take them a hundred feet to stay.
If I do not have to depend on anyone while I travel, I do not like it. Instead of buying a flag, relying on a shop to rent or carry one, or not carrying one, I packed this one As soon as it is deflated and flags/poles are covered, the unit compacts down very small. I'll be using this company for my future trips without a doubt.
Be sure to fill the middle of it with water for ballast before you head down though, or else your flag will crash to the bottom.
noticed that dive flags tipped over when I used them in the past. I like this one a lot. The weight can be attached to the bottom without any problems. Not having to fill it with water is a huge plus for me. Additionally, because of how it is designed, I am able to place my anchor weight and line in it while swimming out to where I want to go. I can then drop the water bottles, so I don't get tangled up in the rope, and then I can swim around the dive flag.
It is more shallow and flimsier than the one that I bought at the dive shop. The flag falls out and is less stable. The reduced height does not provide the poles with enough depth to keep them in place. We had to discard this after three dives, as it sprung a leak. The area where the flag holds cracked. The problem cannot be fixed.
