other boats, channels, beaches,
restricted areas, swimmers, and
heavily traveled waterways and un-
derwater obstructions.

tercraft before swimming.

son who falls in the water 60 m
(200 ft) in front of your watercraft
in about 5 seconds.
Shut engine off and remove ignition
key when anyone is in the water
nearby.
Stay at least 45 m (150 ft) away from
areas marked by a diver down float.
