OK, but surely "Where is the Divemaster?" should not require detailed complex signing underwater?!?!
It's a very cool website though but unfortunately it will serve very little purpose for me who is thousands of kilometers (make that miles) away from America and other speakers of American Sign Language.
When I say complex and detailed I mean being able to communicate underwater everything that can be said using sign just as complex and detailed as if you were talking on land. That is what ASL has that makes it an amazing language to learn, I am sure there is a South African version of ASL or BSL (British sign Language).You can take some courses and learn this if you are interested and serious enough to devote some time to it. Otherwise just make up some signs you and your buddy can use.
however the course requires a confined water dive which is a little more difficult to arrange over the ether!
Hmmm, how about a Virtual Dive. (I know where you can get a great deal on some Virtual Reality goggles!) The good part would be that everyone would have perfect neutral bouyancy!
