Get involved with your Boa�ngWA Commi�ee!
Dear members,
BoatingWA is seeking leadership assistance from our members to drive positive changes for recreational
boaters in WA.
Our goal is to ensure that our fellow boaters have great boating destinations, enjoyable facilities and safe
travel home.
Currently, your BoatingWA Committee has nine devoted committee members, but we need more members
to be part of the decision-making process. Your contribution in helping BoatingWA discuss opportunities to
improve the safety and facility of Boa�ng for all West Australians would be greatly appreciated.
If you have what it takes to share responsibilities with a friendly committee that demonstrate the energy and
enthusiasm to stir things up and, seek improvements from Government and Authorities on Facility and
Safety, we would love to have you on board.
If you have any question about joining the BoatingWA Committee, please feel free to reach out or even better
come and join us at one of our monthly Commi�ee mee�ng to see how we get things done.
Thank you for considering joining your BoatingWA Committee! We would love to tap your energy and
exper�se.
Together we represent a significant voice and as a group we make a posi�ve difference.
Safe boa�ng!
Your Boa�ngWA Commi�ee
FROM THE LOG
• Cau�on Diver Below
All boats must keep at least 50 metres clear of boats, buoys or areas showing diving signals.
Where this is not possible, the approaching vessel should:
• Proceed at the slowest speed at which the vessel can be safely navigated.
• Maintain a proper lookout for persons in the water.
The following information is provided to help divers and skippers share the water
safely.
Diving flag.
A boat with divers working from it must carry the appropriate day or night signals. The
day�me signal for divers is an Interna�onal Code Flag “A”.
The flag must be at least 750 millimetres long and 600 millimetres wide.

ON DECK | MARCH 2020 | PAGE 3
Divers operating without a vessel, for example from a jetty, must also display
the Interna�onal Code Flag “A” of the same minimum size.
You can choose to show this flag from a buoy, in which case the minimum size
must be 300 millimetres in length and 200 millimetres in width.
The flag must be clearly visible to all vessels opera�ng in the vicinity.
As a dive flag is only a visual indication to other vessels and will not
automatically prevent them from venturing into a dive area, it’s
recommended divers always listen out for other craft before surfacing, and
surface as near to their vessel as possible.
While it is not law it is highly recommended that snorkellers display a dive flag
par�cularly when snorkelling offshore or in areas of high boa�ng traffic.
Diving lights
By night the diver’s vessel, as well as appropriate lights such as an anchor light, must show three all-round
lights in a ver�cal line: the top and bo�om lights red and the middle light white.
People engaged in night diving without a vessel must display a yellow-orange flashing light that can be seen
from a minimum distance of 200 metres
Vessels to keep clear
All vessels must keep at least 50 metres clear of boats, buoys or areas showing diving signals.
Where it is not possible to keep 50 metres clear or when in the vicinity of a diving signal, all vessels must
proceed at safe speed and with due caution until well clear and keep a good look-out for persons in the water
If you have no valid reason to be within 50 metres of a dive flag then don’t be. Wanting to dive, fish or drop
pots within 50 metres is not necessarily a valid reason.
Please use common sense and courtesy. All vessels must
navigate so as to avoid injury to the diver or interference with
the vessel or floa�ng object.
DoT recommends where possible skippers maintain a distance
of more than 100 metres from a vessel or buoy displaying a
dive flag

• Ro�nest Island – Did you know?
Did you know the importance of adhering to the colour coding for moorings. All moorings are load rated
within the reserve. The colour code is that rating. Using a mooring under the minimum size of your vessels
has the poten�al to cause damage to that mooring and void your vessel insurance.
Your colour code is displayed on your mooring sticker. Using a mooring below your colour code is a breach of
the terms and conditions for use. You could incur an infringement and be responsible for any damage caused
to the mooring.
Moorings are privately owned and maintained by the Licensee. Please respect the privilege, not the right of
being able to use the mooring and do not be tempted to take the quick fix solution regardless of weather
condi�on.
