What symbol indicates a Keep-Out Buoy?

  1. An orange circle

  2. An orange cross within a diamond

  3. A red square

  4. A green triangle

The correct answer is: An orange cross within a diamond

A Keep-Out Buoy is a type of navigational aid that warns watercraft to keep a safe distance from a restricted area. The symbol used to indicate this is an orange cross within a diamond. This symbol is internationally recognized and is used to clearly mark the boundaries of a restricted area. The color orange is used to provide high visibility and the cross within a diamond shape is used to indicate a hazard. The other options, such as an orange circle, a red square, or a green triangle, do not accurately represent the specific function and purpose of a Keep-Out Buoy.
