Rating: floating dive flag
Reviewer: Matthew W.,
I am using this for snorkeling offshore while kayaking. This tool makes me visible to passing boats. It is compact enough to take anywhere. Id previously had a float with a large styrofoam float. It was good but bulky. Your inflatable flag is easy topack and set up.

I purchased the marker so that boaters will see the location of where I was in the water. I like the ease of inflation and deflation. Stores easy in my equipment bag. The only fault I find is that it has not weight on the bottom of the float. I had to tie a weight to the bottom to keep the flag upright.

Rating: it was great...
Reviewer: Richard B.,
with increased jet ski and boat traffic in our marine park, we decided the flag and float was a good idea even for snorkeling. It is light, drags easily and, importantly, is visible! A good cautionary signal.

No complaints. Not the greatest quality but what do you expect for $5. Works great.

Rating: great snorkel flagvisible and easy to use
Reviewer: Carol Cox,
we bought two of these for snorkeling for scallops and are very pleased. it is weighted by water you add to a compartment in the bottom of the float. because of the surface float, it is always visible to boaters, even when we swim with it. it is very lightweight and easy to pull with you. the flag isnt necessary for visibility, but it meets the legal obligation to have a dive flag when snorkeling. before, we used a dive flag with a foam float and a lead weight to hold it upright. when we swam with that one, it flattened out and wasnt visible to boaters. we also tried a canvas float with a rubber tube, it was more visible, but very bulky and put a lot of drag on the snorkeler. the scuba dive flag and float is the best snorkeling flag we have found and i definitely recommend it as a flag that is easy to pull with you. it also stores efficientlyjust deflate and empty the water. you could travel with this outfit.

Rating: Good for price, flag falls out from base very easily
Reviewer: Carter C., - View all my reviews
This is a great float for the price, great for travel as it fits in bag with no problem. Took it to the BVIs for sailing/scuba diving for a week, and it worked well. Flag fell out of base on last dive as we pulled it back on boat and had to dive back in to get it.

Rating: Inflatable Flag Float
Reviewer: Erv G.,
The blowup flag float works well.
It stows in easily in a dive bag and deploys
in a few seconds. Even a son-in-law can figure it out.
It can be used with or w/o the water ballast.
When towed it works well with a line reel. Best of all, boaters can SEE it!

Rating: Dive Flag option
Reviewer: Dennis L., - View all my reviews
I was looking for an inexpensive "diver below" float/flag for some time now.
I am perfectly happy with this item. You cant beat the price. And for this price I wasnt expecting anything more. I have one to use on a regular basis, but wanted a small portable one that could be used on the spur of the moment. This is perfect.
When you add the water to the bottom pouch it really does stabilize the float. The flag only goes up 18" (not appropriate for big ocean waves). I keep this in the bottom of my dive bag.
I give this 5 stars because it was everything it claimed to be, not because its the best dive flag on the market

Questions and Answers for Scuba Dive Flag and Float:
Susan:
Hi. My son and I are going snorkeling in Florida for the first time this spring. I have read that we need to have a diver down flag. Can you please tell me if the Scube Dive Flaf and Float you sell has a line to tie to yourself, or some way to attach it for snorkeling? We will be staying very shallow. Thank you.

You can upgrade to add the the line and holder and that should work for snorkeling.
