Not sure this is the right place but...
I was reading TSandM trip report last night, great read by the way, and I thought it would be a good idea to have a comprehensive guide on underwater communication, not just hand signals, but signals with lights for example.
A video demonstration of signals would be great, wouldn't it?
The owner of rEvo gave me a "it's very silted out in there" hand signal once as I was ready to enter the wreck, I remember at the time the message being very clear and unmistakable, but I cannot remember how the signal was. Like TSandM, last week I had the same situation where I was trying to tell my buddy to speed up, he understood the message, but did not do it, bastard.
So, even though I realize there is different ways of saying the same thing, which inevitably will create debate, welcome to internet forum, it might be a good idea to have a source where as many light/hand signals are comprised in, oh yeah, I should ask, does it exist already?
So then, anyone wants to take on the project? Creating a series of wonderful videos of underwater communication?
In the mean time, I guess we can fill in descriptions of handy(no pun intended) signals to make our communications more efficient.
