Hi,
I have found that there are no standard torch signalling gestures used when night diving. The signal for "OK" (slow circular movement of the torch) appears to be used across the board. However, the sign for getting a buddy's attention and the one for signalling an emergency situation tend to differ between divers and training agency.
For example, the first one below is the method advocated by NAUI and the second is from another agency.
Which do you feel is correct and why? Or is there an alternative we could all agree to (he says with tongue firmly planted in cheek )
Cheers!
