Good stuff.

I had a guy take a dive off the bow of the boat once. We were drifting a shallow reef in strong current and bumped over a rock. The force pitched him off the boat.

It was very dark and the spot light on the bow was useless because by the time I could react he was behind the boat. Luckily, he was wearing a life jacket so it's wasn't a crisis. The life jacket had a small strip of reflective tape that clearly located him with a quick sweep of a medium sized mag light.

This thread is about safety in the surf but one could easily be pushed off of a rock and find themself drifting into a place like woods hole. A small strip of that tape on your hat could make all the difference in the world.
