No CaptnDale, I probably wouldn't leave the mooring if I had divers
in the water, and I would explain that to the other boat wanting to
tie up.  On the other hand I am not a charter captain, like you, and
you would know the rules of the road better than me.  As for firing
a flare at another boat, sounds like a bad case of road rage to me,
and if the sheriff or Coast Guard got involved, would hope that citation(s)
were issued to the offender(s).  MJB
