What flag do Diving Buoys carry?

  1. Blue and white diagonally striped

  2. Red with a white diagonal stripe

  3. Yellow with a black circle

  4. Green and white horizontally striped

The correct answer is: Red with a white diagonal stripe

Diving buoys usually carry a red flag with a white diagonal stripe. This is an internationally recognized flag that signals the presence of a swimmer or diver in the water. Option A is incorrect because blue and white stripes are typically used for marking a safe area for swimming. Option C is incorrect because yellow with a black circle is usually used to signify a restricted area. Option D is incorrect because green and white stripes are typically used to mark the center of a channel or fairway. Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
