107 Hand signals for scuba divers

Underwater communication. It´s important for divers to know how to speak while being underwater. There are many different signs used all over the world that I have collected and showed you in this video.
You can find the graphic table of scuba hand signals on our website: divingatlantis-tenerife.com/en...
Please write your suggestions in the comments if you have some other signals to add to my collection.

    'cleared safety stop", is useful to know

    Music is far too loud and does nothing but makes it hard to understand. Other than that, a very useful video.

    Signals seem to vary a little from place to place. Thank you for sharing what you have seen. Deco is sometimes indicated by just the pinky & sometimes a pinky & a thumb. Some guys use different signals for numbers. Some guys have specific signals for different types of fish & other interesting sights.

    When I accidentally gave a diver I was working with "thumbs up" for a job well completed, she understood I wasn't signaling to surface. She later recommended that, to avoid that confusion, we add "jazz hands" to the dive vocabulary. It's better than "OK," it's "great job on the task." I'm sure there's a better signal.

    The "This Level" sign (I'm guessing PADI or TDI/SDI?) is confusingly close to the BSAC "Out of Air" sign, which is moving the flat palm of your hand to and away from (not across, as in the PADI style) the neck. This is why I *really* feel dive training organisations should agree a global standard for hand signals.

    I was taught that the "time out" "T" signal means, "turn time" which is when you turn the drive around to start heading back. It's your 50% air time not including the 500psi safety.

    Dive Center Daily Life well, found out it’s not actually a Scuba diving hand signal. It’s a Hawaiian/surfer sign called Shaka which means “hang loose” or “right on”. Guess it’s found its way into the underwater world as well. ;-)

    Oh Please! You should be go to take class American Sign Language courses A.S.L is under the buoyancy communication gesture development if not, you check at National Technology Institute for the Deaf in Rochester, New York by Rochester Institute Technology . Most Deaf and Hearing student took American Sign Language class courses for PADI. The fact that American Sign Language (A.S.L.) is very easy communication hand gesture under the buoyancy more than talking anything which You can go in "Deaf Scuba" program in KZread.
