Hand signal question...

[coliseum]

On Aircraft Carriers, this sign means open Flaps

In Diving... well, it could mean "did you see my clams?" or "I saw a fish yea big?"

:mean:

This is the sign I use (scroll down). I think it is the one several people have tried to describe, but not the one O-ring saw.

That's not the sign we use for question. We make a sign that looks like a question mark with our index finger (kinda hook shaped).

And much better IMO.

you florida dorks.....try doing that with 5 mil mittens and having your buddy understand it....when I have a question I do the hand thing, and I tilt my head sideways....easier to get the point across.

Works great with my 7mm gloves. Not only that but I can use my hands and they're still warm 'n' toasty.

yeah, it works with gloves, but not mittens....and with gloves, it isn't near a clear without them

And Wendy...I'm just jealous that you guys dives without any exposure protection (comparatively) and I have to be all neoprened up...or dry-suited, but I don;t have one of those yet.

Good hand signals should only involve one hand, leaving the other free to handle tasks.

Which is why the "boat" signal in my circle has evolved to a one-handed palm up and cupped.

Preceeded by the index finger bent like a question mark (as Wendy mentioned) it means "Where's the boat?" or, more accurately, "I haven't been paying attention"
