Which hazard is associated with the presence of the alpha flag indicating the presence of divers?

  1. Underwater fishing

  2. Increased boat traffic

  3. Restricted area for sailing

  4. Boating safety compliance denoted

The correct answer is: Restricted area for sailing

The presence of the alpha flag, which is a blue and white flag, signals that there are divers in the water and that vessels should keep a safe distance. This flag indicates a restricted area for sailing or boating activities to ensure the safety of the divers below. Properly observing this signal not only protects the divers but also prevents potential accidents or injuries that could arise from boats operating too close to where divers are submerged. The use of the alpha flag is an essential measure in maritime safety practices to promote awareness among boaters about diver locations and the need to operate with caution in those areas.
