Diver Down Flag
$15.00
Diver down flag for spearfishing. Two sizes, for float and boat
Florida legal size diver down flags available in two sizes, for float 12" x 13" and for boat 20" x 24".
Features
- Stitched-in fiberglass stiffener. Better than the conventional wire stiffener which gets entangled with other gear in your equipment bag, bends and requires constant straightening, and causes the grommets to rip out of the flag material rendering the flag illegal and unusable.
- High quality Polyester construction.
- Stainless steel grommet.
- Stitched on white stripe. Will not fade and peel off as a painted on stripe does.
- Boat size flag accepts the cheapest and most readily available flag pole, a 1/2" white PVC pipe.
- Float size flag accepts a 1/4" diameter flag pole. Home Depot sells a 48" tall driveway marker for $2 with the perfect size fiberglass pole for the flag.
* Flag pole not included.
