Whatever way you choose to mount your dive flag, you must be sure it clearly visible to other boaters. Laws requiring how far boats must keep from dive flags vary from state to state and internationally but distances usually range from 50 to 150 feet.  Divers are often required to surface within 25 feet of the flag, and not doing so could be fatal to the diver.  If your diving area is larger then the distance allowed by law, multiple dive flags should be used that are separated then no more then 100 feet apart to ensure boaters can see and obey the laws.  Internationally, the alpha flag, a swallow-tailed blue and white flag, is used when diving from a vessel.  The dive flag is not only one of your cheapest purchases in scuba diving but also one of your most important.
