Due the frequency of these watercraft coming very close and therefore ignoring legitimate 'DIVERS DOWN' symbols what about getting some evidence of them on film. I for one am going to use my camera next time as I generally hear the motors coming, surface, and then ensure they notice me. I know you don't always hear them coming, which is the real point of this thread, but I am definitely going to try 'hunting' errant watercraft with my camera. It has 1Gb memory stick so I should get some video or pics without losing out on capacity for the water shots. If like Sunday at Ringstead, I will soon get some shots. In the end it might not do much now, but keeping the footage may be useful for any further inquiries/debates on regulation?? Word might even get around the jetski forums (if there are any??) that there are spies in the water...
