Pickles Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 (edited) Well done Basil, some really nice Dollie’s - a good feed there mate. I’m a diver (SCUBA only now) also and Zoran is (almost) correct, even though it is poor form, once a diver is in the water a powered craft must be a minimum 60m away from the diver and a “safe distance” from the boat. Unfortunately some diver don’t use a blue and white flag so put themselves at significant risk. below is from maritime handbook: “Powered vessels – including sailing boats over 5.5m long and personal watercraft (PWC) – must keep a minimum distance of 60m from: people in the water, including swimming and surfing areas the boundaries of designated swimming areas and surf zones (marked by signs) a dive flag or float. Take extra care when you're within 200m of divers and spearfishers – they can be up to 100m from their float or flag.” Edited February 3, 2023 by Pickles 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But how would it be policed? ... as @mrsswordfisherman knows I am trying to find contacts in DPI where we can table issues like this with a unified FR/Deckee voice. In the meantime all we have is common sense and courtesy.... and personally I believe KARMA will catch up with those that don't show these basic values on the open ocean.

Cheers Zoran Maybe @Rebelcan help. He seems to be all over the latest political, fisheries and council news and updates. Surely with some of the info he provides on here that he knows people in these Industries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
