- We can't talk to one another underwater.....unless you own a full face mask and communication system, so for new divers beginning their open water certification, there is a whole new language to learn....."Underwater Scuba Diving Hand Signals". Just like any language there is a large vocabulary, and different meanings to those signals. In this video Lyell provides an introduction for those students embarking upon their scuba diving certification. Stay tuned for more upcoming episodes addressing more specialized areas of hand signals and how and when to use them!

Really appreciate all the content you guys put out. I’ve been watching a lot as refreshers. Thank you
Good refresher! Learned a couple of new ones - level off (ceiling to floor example) and the do over skill. Thanks!
Nice refresher; even for an old dude like me..
What a great refreshing episode ..
many thanks
by the way congratulations for the new studio! 🤙
Love the videos!! If I could say I had any beef with hand signals it would be the lack of consistency on some of them. I don't know how many different ones I've seen over the years for safety stop, end a dive and response to how much air do you have left. It can be confusing to newer divers for sure.
Agreed Daniel. That is why when diving in anew location or with a Divemaster or a guide. Part of the predive planning should be a review of what hand signals are to be used.
There are some variations from location or location.
Love your videos. Thanks for what you do! So is the next episode for hand signals already out or coming soon?
John thanks for your kind words. Next one will be out soon! We appreciate your support!
👌🤙
How to ask if I can touch that? A rock or a coral for example.
Your so called question hand signal, that sign is used for Deco, eg 5 mins till deco!
You need to expand on the “don’t hold your breath” as this is not true! Tec Divers learn holding their breath skills in an out of air situation. you should clarify “Dont hold your breath and ascend”
We will expand upon that and even clarify that the term “don’t hold your breath” is actually incorrect. The correct term should be “maintain an open airway”…….but in this video we never actually said……”don’t hold your breath”, we said, “don’t stop breathing”…..two different things. Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching.
