SCUBA HAND SIGNALS
« on: October 04, 2011, 09:18:12 AM »

In my recent dives, I came across with divers that are unfamiliar with the common hand signals.
Writing on a slate is way better to communicate but marine life just wont stay still at the same spot so
using handsignals are faster to talk underwater. :D
When the slate isn't with me, i had to shout to the diver so that he/she could understand what
was i referring too.
 
Go to this link for common basic hand signals

This link shows in video

Shucks i failed at the 1st question
