Common hand signals

Shared by Ksso on February 05, 2011 in Technique

If you haven't been diving for a while, before getting back in a suit it's always a good idea to review the basic hand signals used for communicating underwater.... you know, just in case you need them ( and to make sure you don't thumb-up your dive buddy ... (thumb-up means we're going up now)).

There are more gestures than that and you should think while on the boat to reassess those that may be used during the dive to point on the rare fish you may run into.
