why there was a dive flag (buoy) marker on the reef in front of the yellow sub dive site today (6hrs)? Thanks

Uh, I am here in the states, can only guess from here, I would suggest asking the folks at Yellow Sub and they would be happy to answer ya. :-)

Maybe they were giving a lesson? Doing skills? How far was the marker?

parallel to the 1st boat, past the "pool" markers.

Brenda, ask the dive shop and let us know. We can only guess at a correct or accurate answer.

it's just that we'll be there in less than 3 wks, haven't seen this there before, and thought maybe some research or something was going on, not wanting to interfere, or step on any toes! Like I said just curious. thanks

Oh come on Debbie, let's all guess and speculate, that's what everyone does anyway (just kidding). For some reason I can't pull up the webcams on either EI or Firefox, is it still there?

It was there for a little while on Sunday. Likely a diver was towing it to alert boats to divers down is about all I can figure.

Ah...I re-read Brenda's posting, I thought she was actually ON island and asking. Didn't see the webcam picture, so cannot comment. Still think asking the dive shop is an idea though.

Brenda, have a great trip, sorry, thought you were there already, seemed funny to ask here if you were there, now I get it. :-) Don't worry about stepping on anyone's toes, mine get stepped on all the time. I even step on my own occasionally.

We can guess away, sure! I know they do classes there and some folks do bring a dive flag when diving, could be, could be..any of the above. I will be happy to go check it out for a price of a round trip ticket. :-) :-)

Brenda, went through the archives, not sure what time it was you saw it, but is this it?
dive flag?

If so, my "guess" would be a dive flag being dragged by some divers. Looks like it on the center right of the pic there. Best I can come up with from the archives.

Thanks Debbie, glad I didn't post,,,, um, I'm in Canada,,typed it in many times,but, resisted the urge, and erased it. I'm not that kinda talker. I have the cam on as a screen saver, as I work. The flag did go out with divers and left the screen, then on the way back it was secured and stayed there all day (6hrs). That's why I thought it may have been some kinda marker for research. Anyway,,,,,I'm over it! Curiosity isn't always all it's cracked up to be. I figure if there's an issue at a site, we'll be informed beforehand. Thanks all! Bre
