A red flag should be placed in popular especially rocky places to indicate rough and dangerous for swimming.

I think this Dwejra ay wil be indicated as a Danger zone for it'sfatalities.Many people had died in this bay when it is rough sea,including divers.I had an experiance one day when i was swimming in it ,especially if you try to cross from inside trough the tunnel that leads you to open rough sea.The currents in there makes you feel like drowing at the moment and you heve to make your atmost to get out of there,beaware when there are so many currents.RIP my friend.
