The Dive Flag PSA
The Red and White Diver's Down Flag (or sometimes the Blue and White Alfa Flag) is to mark the location of a diver while he is submerged. Divers are required to fly this flag during any an all diving operations, while diving in a body of water that is open for boating purposes. Each state will have its own laws in regards to size and location of the flag.
North Carolina General Statue 75A-13.1
§ 75A-13.1. Skin and scuba divers.
(a) No person shall engage in skin diving or scuba diving in the waters of this State
that are open to boating, or assist in such diving, without displaying a diver's flag from a
mast, buoy, or other structure at the place of diving; and no person shall display such flag
except when diving operations are under way or in preparation.
(b) The diver's flag shall be square, not less than 12 inches on a side, and shall be of
red background with a diagonal white stripe, of a width equal to one fifth of the flag's
height, running from the upper corner adjacent to the mast downward to the opposite
outside corner.
(c) No operator of a vessel under way in the waters of this State shall permit the
vessel to approach closer than 50 feet to any structure from which a diver's flag is then
being displayed, except where the flag is so positioned as to constitute an unreasonable
obstruction to navigation; and no person shall engage in skin diving or scuba diving or
display a diver's flag in any locality that will unreasonably obstruct vessels from making
legitimate navigational use of the water.
(d) A person who violates a provision of this section is responsible for an infraction
as provided in G.S. 14-3.1. (1969, c. 97, s. 1; 2006-185, s. 1; 2013-360, s. 18B.15(b);
