I totally agree with your statement about correct use. I have quoted myself above. I think the first sentence puts us on the same side of the issue. I know when I see a dive flag, (including yours) I make a course change that gives you the safe space you deserve. I would hope that kids snorkeling and swimming deserve the same. But, if they leave the flag out to keep boats away they should be fined.
