I knew that would get your attention! I'm just curious how many of you use underwater communication devices like shakers, quackers, bangers, etc and have you worked out an emergency communication "tone" with your dive buddy.
Do you have rhythm with that shake?

I use nothing - I'm in what, unfortunately, seems to becoming the 'silent minority' though !! Jacques Cousteau called it the 'Silent World', and that's how it should remain !!!

If i have to get my buddies attention i just make my left hand a fist and bang it into my right palm.
Interesting. My wife and I just started using them and my initial reaction is that we love them but the people around us seemed annoyed. Obviously because when we rattled they all would look to see what's going on. In any case, the silent world is anything but. It sounds mostly like a bowl of rice krispies down there during the day. The night usually sounds like the middle of a jungle.

My wife is my dive buddy and I have a good life insurance policy so nothing short of a bull horn gets so much as a glance.

Nope... noisemakers aren't something I use. In my experience, they're more obnoxious than helpful. Good buddy skills make them unnecessary.

Grenades. Get 'em cheap at http://www.armystudyguide.com/conte...cs/hand_grenades/types-of-hand-grenades.shtml
I don't think you can put them in carry on. Check them with your SCUBA knife and Spare Air.

I don't use them at all, and I don't think any of my friends out here in California use them either.
