Safety is of the utmost importance. Use caution when diving and when boating around other divers. Always use a divers-down warning device when in the water. More information on divers-down warning devices is available here: myfwc.com/boating/regulations.

If bully netting this season, please keep lights directed toward the water and avoid shining them at houses or people along the shoreline. Please also be considerate of others by keeping sound levels low when near shoreline residences.
