What should you do if you see a diver's flag?

When you see a diver's flag, it's essential to keep a minimum distance of 30 metres. Diver's flags indicate that divers are in the water and require the area to be kept safe from passing boats. This distance helps ensure the safety of both the divers and the boaters.

Maintaining a safe distance prevents potential accidents, such as a diver being struck by a boat or the boat interfering with the divers' activities. The 30-metre guideline is established to provide a buffer zone that protects those who are underwater and also allows boat operators to navigate safely without endangering themselves or others in the water.

By adhering to this rule, boaters contribute to a safer environment for everyone involved in water activities, especially those engaging in diving.
