The dive flag(s) that alert surface traffic that there are divers below (also sometimes the "code alpha") can be one or two flags. The First flag you would always see (if a flag is flown at all) is the square, red flag with a diagonal white stripe down the center. One you may see accompany the red/ white flag is a blue and white striped pendant.

The "traditional" tattoo for U.S. Navy deep sea divers is the age old U.S. Navy Mark V (MOD 1) deep sea diving helmet. The tattoo is normally worn on the lower leg. This helmet is also the the rating badge and warfare device now worn on the left sleeve and upon the chest of U.S. Navy surface supplied aka "Deep Sea" Divers. It is strongly looked down upon for U.S. Navy SCUBA divers to consider wearing this tattoo and most know not to.

Why do scuba divers wear heavy metallic suits?
Scuba divers do not wear heavy metal suits. Perhaps you are referring to the bulky looking Mark 5 dive gear with the large helmet and the breast plate that weighs 64 pounds. Suit weighs 25 lbs. Each shoe weighs 25 lbs. Oh, the weight belt the diver wears is 60 to 80 lbs. All this weight is needed to get the diver to sink from all the air inside the helmet.

There are not any courses that would train you to dive this deep. Recreational divers are trained at depths up to 130 feet, over 5,000 feet short of your 1 mile mark. Tech divers are trained to dive deeper, however, the pressure of the water at the depth that you asked about would most likely cause severe bodily harm. In diving u shuld be comservative. If i can do or see what i can do or see at 15 metres, why go to 30?
