Under Washington law, when a water skier is preparing to ski or has fallen into the water, a flag must be displayed. This flag must be a bright orange or red, and it should be at least 12 by 12 inches in size. The flag indicates to other boaters that there is a skier in the water, promoting safety and awareness. The flag should be flown until the skier is safely back on the vessel or out of the water.

A diver down flag, or scuba flag, is a flag used on the water to indicate that there is a diver below. Two styles of flag are in use. Internationally, the code flag alfa/alpha, which is white and blue, is used to signal that the vessel has a diver down and other vessels should keep well clear at slow speed. In North America it is conventionally red with a white stripe from the upper left corner to the lower right corner.
