You are approaching another vessel and see that she has the signal flag "A" hoisted. What should you do?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — Slow your vessel and keep well clear because she has a diver down.

International Code Flag "A" signifies "I have a diver down; keep well clear at slow speed." Navigators must slow down and maintain a wide berth to protect divers operating in the water nearby.
