Skin diving in Lorain waters shall be confined to restricted swimming areas or to within a distance of fifty feet from the shore or pier not within any channel or passageway ordinarily used by watercraft. Skin diving and SCUBA diving may be permitted in other areas when such diver is accompanied by an occupied watercraft and the area in which he is diving is marked by an adequately displayed diver's flag. The operator of a watercraft shall yield the right-of-way to skin and SCUBA divers and shall not approach within 300 feet of such diver's flag. It shall be a violation for such diver to surface further than fifty feet of such diver's flag. The diver's flag referred to shall be such as described in Section 181.01(p).
