Well, I guess I have go into more details here... My take on is was that, Rattlesnake Guy was suggesting a dive flag be left out unattended adjacent to the the swim area to act as a deterrent. Which is clearly in violation of the "Dive Flag" ordnance. I won't site or even paraphrase the law as you seem to already know it. My point is; if you (that's the rhetorical you) misuse the flag and boaters think its just a decoy to obstruct navigation, then you undermine the intent of the law thereby endangering all of us that use the flag, even your snorkelers.
