In my 20 years of diving I have found that the divers flag is a great 
convenience to the local law enforcement agencies funding. Those without one 
get to contribute.

Funny though that the boaters that use these flags as turn points for water 
skiers or as good places to find the divers to learn what they have found 
(they get your attention by dropping an anchor on you) never seem to get to 
contribute also.

One time I asked the cop who was writing my ticket how many he had ever given 
to boaters and it seems that as he is on land and they are on water, boaters 
just never get a ticket.
