Nope...

You arent' just making trouble for yourself.  This weekend, I sent up a
lift bag, just to let the boat know where we were.  It is well worth if
you are running a live boat.  That way the boat can spot you, even in
chop. =20

 A lift bag makes it easy to identify divers and plan for their pickup.=20
"oh, they've started their deco now.  I need to pick them up after 'x' "

The boat spotted a log this weekend and thought it was a diver.  It's
hard to tell from a distance.
