I trained as a SeaSigns instructor last year and have taught a couple of courses. My students all had a great time. You might think that a signing course would be quiet but its not. Having learned a few more words, everyone starts making up their own sentences. And then the instructor is in trouble every time they turn their back!

I have recently got approval to teach the course as a PADI Distinctive Specialty, which means I can exam my students and give them a certification towards their Master Scuba Diver. I'm not sure who is more excited, me or them!

If you have any questions about the course then feel free to ask.
 
my guess is a sort of scuba-geared version of American Sign Language

You are spot on H2Andy. It teaches a vocabulary of around 100 additional signs for divers. Many of them are based on American Sign Language, and they are all approved by the major training agencies.

Seeing as I work in Yorkshire I also teach the signs for "beer" and a selection of (mild) insults!
 
I'd be happy to have everyone signal air pressure in a universal way!

Short of an instructed course is Sea Signs available for home study?
