Question: Is it legal to carry a knife for safety purposes while diving in a Marine Protected Area (MPA)? (Chris)

Answer: Except where specifically prohibited,  non-extractive activities (swimming, wading, boating, diving and surfing) are allowed in MPAs. A knife is considered standard safety gear for both free and scuba divers, so carrying one on your person is not expressly prohibited while diving.
