Well, it's true - Don't do this..

I have flown over the ocean a couple of times so far and I try and stay at least 15 or 20 feet off the water, I'm always afraid of a ? wanting to playing with my drone.?

So, just to confirm, 20' or higher above the surface of any water would be a safe height to fly over, with no worries whatsoever, correct?

I have never had an issue 20 feet or above. Although the sensor on the bottom can still measure higher. As to no worries, I would not go that far. I would call it being aware. Keep the bird in sight and 20 feet will give you plenty of time to respond. Over water I have only seen issues down low with very clear water.
