Nope, that'd be red with a white horizontal stripe from top left to bottom right :P Also known as the 'A' flag.

Nope...this is the divers 'A' flag (International Code of Signals 'Alpha' Flag(Diver Down or conducting underwater operations))


This...is the Divers Down Flag


In short the difference of the two are...the 'A' Flag is to be displayed by vessels conducting diving operations which restrict there ability to maneuver.  The Divers down flag is to be displayed by the divers & requires the divers to be within a certain distance of the flag (a good example of the use of this flag is when used in conjunction with Surface Marker Buoys).

The crap you carry in your head  :roll: :lol:
