Tyler, I am very much done with this issue, but since you are not trying to open old wounds I will respond. It was I who captain Greg tangled with, to answer your questions, I was anchored about 50 ft. off the reef {so as not to drop anchor on the reef}. 100 ft. is the understood distance to stay clear of a boat with dive flags up {note "flags" I fly both diverdown and alpha} this is to allow for a safe zone to surface. I agree with Nate, If someone is where you need to go then you will have to wait or go elsewhere. Most often divers will move after a dive or two at a spot so just be patient. I know you guys are out there to earn a living but is it really worth someone else dieing? JUST STAY CLEAR OF DIVE FLAGS !! THANK YOU
