DIVE FLOAT
Hi Randy,
Dive float is a actually.............a FLOAT !!! Which has a diver identification flag, all red with white diagonal stripe. It tells others, especially boaters that there is a diver either scuba or freediver within so amny meters radius of the float. By international law, there is a minimum distance ( I forgot ) which any boat can come close to your float so that you don't get over run and become fish bait. At the same time you being the diver has a maximum distance radius on how far you can be away from your flag/float so that you can ascent/appear from the water within a said safe radius. Some boaters are just dumb & blind, ehhhhhmmm, I am not one of them............u need to use ur ear too cause propellers on boat can be heard from far away, so stay alert.
The float can also be used for surface resting just in case you need to hold on to something. Some float can hold drinks and light snack, I have yet to see one with a barbecue pit. The same float can be attached to your speargun shoooting line with line release attachment so that when a big fish is shot ............the float handle the load, you get to keep your gun. If the fish is big enough you probably can use it as water ski puller........... he he he.
If you feel sleepy on the beach the same float can be used as pillow..........
