Can somebody post some advanced scuba Hand signals like....

a) Get lost
b) I'm Hungry
c) Don't Bull****

Just for fun.
 
this is just a sugetion, but for eather the "get lost" or the "dont' bull****" you could just use your middle finger (rude finger). i could think of many things you could use that hand signal for!!!!!;)
 
Hey Doiteasy.. low on brains is a good one
For bull**** we cross our arms and extend right hand down and open and close our fingers meanwhile with left arm extended higher with our left hand fingers show bull's horn.

How do you show a sign for wrasse.
 
No need to be rude if you know sign language. Thats the reason why handicapped divers communicate better underwater. Presently its taught by seasigns and heard that PADI has recognised it as speciality course. www.seasigns.com

If you mean "get lost" like in "go away" then I would just use a sweeping hand motion in the direction of the person I'm addressing.

If you mean "get lost" like in you don't konw where you go then you could use the "direction" sign and then upturned palms to indicate a question, meaning "I don't konw which way to go"

b) I'm Hungry

Pat the stomach. Don't use something that looks like "low on air" They're too easy to confuse.

c) Don't Bull****

You could consider using the ASL word for "serious" (like "get serious"), which is a twisting motion of the index finger against the bottom front part of the chin. You'd have to tell your buddy what that means before the dive, though. (although you might have to make it against the front of your regulator housing for your buddy to see it)

I learned the signal for help - on your left hand palm hold your clenched right hand with thumbs up sign. Diver0001 can you post some other signals you use UW.
