Yep, here is a shot of me kneeling on the sand during an IDC





And here is an instructor candidate doing the dreaded PADI hover

You are making the deco signal to a guy with a snorkel. You should have your man card revoked. :shakehead

I thought that was his "TASER fingers" pose, ready to whap the student

Mikey mikey mike..

No, that fine example of strokery in the foreground is not me, both the divers in the second picture are candidates and the foreground guy was actually hovering.

You will be pleased to note that all divers concerned are wearing bp/w, admittedly not too well in the second picture, but at least they are trying.

Nope, that's DECO. Then you signal depth and minutes.
