Saw a NJ dive rescue team run their boat (RIB) right thru a divers bubbles in an area that was only about 6’ deep! At the same spot we had a jet skier playing around a line of dive flags that was set up to keep boaters out of a diver training area under the Point Pleasant bridge. He was trying to see how close he could turn around the floats until someone on shore bonked him with a rock! A sherff’s boat bonked a diver at Phil Foster park who was within 50’ of her flag, she was not injured but when the police were called they tried to blame the diver.
In many states you now need a license to operate a powered boat or jetski, when I took the NJ course the dive flag was only breifly mentioned but another diver and I in the class brought it back up. Some groups are putting up signs reminding boaters at boat ramps.
