Dumb question...

As we all know the National Parks have color coded mooring bouy’s for daytime use. reddish-orange for non-diving, white for diving. Can someone please define diving for me? Does this include scuba, snorkeling, swimmimg?

Yes, I’m an idiot!!!

Can’t remember the last time I saw a white ball but yes it is for diving with scuba gear. All balls have a 90 minute limit.

Thank you for your reply, so if we are just snorkeling we must use the reddish-orange no dive moorings and avoid the white dive only moorings, correct?

No, you just have to snorkel below the surface and run a dive flag. Then you are diving.

There are not any white only balls that I have seen so it’s a bit of a moot point. You will find only red day use balls and yellow commercial dive balls.

If you think that's the dumbest question ever asked on this forum, you haven't been around very long.

I once had a newbie ask me what currency the BVI used. I explained that they used the US dollar. She replied that that was convenient and then asked what the exchange rate would be!

I would guess the balls at the sites too deep to snorkel are white, like Wreck Alley?
