This is a great example of why discussing common hand signals before a dive is part of the pre-dive brief. Sad that a dive master would be so lax as to not do this.
She did go over all the hand signals related to air consumption, going up, going down, out of air, safety stop etc. I think this was either an itchy palm or a signal for a fish. She went over some signals like , lobster, shark, eel, and anchor (there were large anchors form the 1800's) This may have been a wildlife signal she forgot. She definitely did go over the important ones though and went over planned depths, turn around PSI, when and how we should signal her etc.
