I just took possession of a new dry suit and the literature that came with it boasts of new more light reflective material as well as metal backing to make the wearer more visible to radar when on the surface. So, considering that at most only the top of your shoulders are above water, I guess the claim made by that company could be plausible.
Personally, as a diver, I would put more faith in the top of my tank being more reflective than any metallic surface on the suit.
Rob Z - no longer with a boat with a hole in the bottom, but the superstructure collapsed over the winter!
Does anyone have experience with the radar flag? They claim 4
mile visabilty
even wwith the flag only 2 feet off the water. Seems like it
would be very
simple to find a good location. Here is the link.
