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 online at
MyFWC.com/Boating by clicking on “Boating Regulations.”

Don’t forget to use care around corals and other marine life as well. You can visit FLCoralCrew.com to join the
FL Coral Crew and learn more about coral-safe diving practices and how you can help.

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.
