Dr. Black, You claim to operate a boat but you do not know the difference between a red distress flare and a white anti-collision flare. You probably would not recognize day shapes, signal flags or light signals either. As for calling the Coast Guard, by the time they got out there I could very well have had a diver chopped up by a propeller. I was not interested in having someone get a ticket, I was interested in keeping my divers alive and well. What an idiot!

Last time I checked you could pan-pan on 16 or 9, or even call the Coast Guard yourself on 22. Sorry Dale, but your story doesn't float well IMHO.
