Speed boat propellers and Jet Skis can be dangerous and a nuisance at times.
Hence, improving the safety for tourists who engage in any of the local water-based activities is essential.
We use all the recommended methods of protection for swimmers and alert signals for boat traffic.
Marker buoys, along with flags and floats, warn speed boats and any Jet Ski riders about the presence of scuba divers and snorkelers in the water.
