Rating: Cheap dive flag but worth the money
Reviewer: Gregory T., Sunday, September 06, 2009
Make sure you read all the reviews!!! tie the flag to secure it to the pole. This flag is not made well but perfect for the travel bag to be leagal in states like Florida that require a flag. I have not used it yet but inspected it and it looks like it will work fine and is small so stuffs into the dive bag.

Something you should be aware of is flag height is short However that is the trade off for it being compact. Certainly much better than no flag. This was as described and I am happy with this purchase. maui mike

Rating: Dive flag-float flag
Reviewer: MICHAEL PAOLI, Friday, April 24, 2009 - View all my reviews
this float is a good size -easily seen and it is easy to store away.After reading the reviews,I drill four small holes into the flag and pole.Put four tie wires(mechanical plastic ties) and clipped off the ends.I used this in the swimming pool and in a dive cove.Each time- other people and divers noticed the float right away. Its nicely priced.MPaoli

Rating: Little cumbersome but awesome price!

Hey........admit it..........we all get concerned a little if there are boats around and youre diving. This float and flag is visible from a long ways and you cannot take chances when your safety is at risk. However, it does topple over alot if you do not have direct pressure applied from below. Easily fixed though if you tie some sort of light weight to the bottom. Great product for the price.

Rating: Great Item for a Great Price
Reviewer: Brent P., Monday, September 08, 2008 - View all my reviews
Although it is not huge, the float and marker is big enough to see well. I use it on local deep lakes that I dive in to mark our decent and accent location. It works very well. Just do as others have described by placing a screw in the flag to fasten it to the pole so it doesnt fall off. No problems for me....

Rating: Failed During First Dive
Reviewer: Jeff Baker, Sunday, August 24, 2008 - View all my reviews
The Good: The product design is great for the ease of portability. I travel by kayak to my favorite snorkeling spots and it takes up almost no room in my dive bag. The Bad: The product design is terrible based on the choice of material and manufacturing method. The plastic flag is spot-welded (e.g. melted) to the plastic flag stick. On my unit, the bottom weld was too deep and crimped the flag stick. Within an hour of use on the very first dive the flag stick failed at the crimp and flopped over like a dead fish making the flag virtually invisible to approaching boats. Not good. Upon returning home, I shoved a length of heavy gauge wire through the hollow plastic flag to give it some support. Now it just leans slightly. I guess you get what you pay for...

Rating: Worked well, with advice from previous reviews
Reviewer: Pamela M., Saturday, July 05, 2008 - View all my reviews
We used this float on a shore dive on Hawaii and it worked just fine. Following advice on other reviews, we had zip-tied the flag to the support before we left on the trip. Its a very good buy and easy to take with you on a trip.

i read all the reviews on this float and flag. i have used it several times in a lake in small waves/wake and i have had no problems with it. it is inexpensive and does the same job as the expensive ones.

Rating: Very convenient
Reviewer: Dan G., Monday, July 02, 2007 - View all my reviews
This flag was exactly what i was looking for you can easily blow it up by mouth and when your done with your dive deflate it to have it fit perfectly into your dive bag, also when blown up it is large enough to be visible from a good distance. perfect addition for any diver at an excellent price

Rating: Works great
Reviewer: Marsha K., Monday, June 04, 2007 - View all my reviews
We use a dive flag on the boat, but other boaters dont seem to notice it. With this in the water it gets more attention. It inflates and deflates easily and fits in the dive bag. The only complaint I have is the nylon rope used to attach was not finished at then end and frays and doesnt tie off easily. We are going to have to use a differnt type of rope to tie off with. But other wise its great, I can tie it off the anchor rope for it to float several feet from the boat to alert other boaters.
