Control Buoy
: Marks a restricted area such as “slow no-wake,” “5 MPH, no skiing or no fishing.”
Mooring Buoy:
Means an anchor buoy. This is the only buoy to which a boat may tie or secure to.
Diver’s Flag : Must be used any time a diver is in the water. Boats must not come closer than 50 feet of the flag and must
operate at a slow, no-wake speed within 200 feet.
Alpha Flag
: Means a vessel is engaged in diving operations or is restricted in its ability to navigate. Boaters must use extreme
caution and are advised to look for a diver’s-down flag.
NOTE: Markings may vary by geographic location. For example, the Western Rivers System markers are slightly different, as
well as in different states or jurisdictions. Always consult appropriate boating authorities before boating in unfamiliar waters.
