I've been reading Diver Down and in one of the later stories a buddy performing a buddy rescue arrives at the surface with the victim in tow and gives 5 blasts on their air-integrated alert/signal device and other divers in the area seemed to know what this meant.
That got me wondering whether there is a standard or universal "Emergency" signal that most divers/dive operations recognize as meaning there is an emergency, I need help, respond ASAP, alert the local emergency response system & responders?
If so, is it 5 whistle blows/signal blasts/bell rings..., or what...?
(Perhaps this is just another tidbit of info that was missing from all of my training to date, or I snoozed through that class...)
