After experiencing first hand the tree branch in low visiblity, or should I say forehead first, and not being the only one.

What are some hand signals that need to be added to the list?

The low branch = a salute across eyebrows

It looks like a quote from a dive report but I can't find it.

Wouldn't that be making a W with your pointer, middle and ring finger, then pointing the outermost digits toward your palm?


Wait that's the one I used when my instructor asked to fully flood my already partially flooded mask.

come to think of it that's the same signal I used when that moray took my glove.

oh well

any other signals?

Frog I think thats the UK version, Fish has the US version, same meaning, different finger count. I almost drowned a buddy one day with that one....he was laughing so hard he almost choked...
