What criteria did SeaSigns use to select the signs? * They best express the meanings of the words. * Easy to make and read underwater in full gear, easy to learn and remember. * Can be made 1-handed, when sign available. * Most like a widely used dive sign, if the sign is not considered obscene. Why don't you use the signs used by the certifying agencies? We do use the signs for up, down, OK, and out of air upon which agencies seem to agree. For other signs we chose ASL, so the largest number of people could understand the signs, however, different agencies may use different signs for the same word or make the same sign somewhat differently. They may have signs that are not used by any other agency. Are you saying we should not use the signs our agency taught us? No. If you and your buddy were taught signs by the same certifying agency, by all means use the signs you learned. Always communicate to your buddy before the dive what signs you will be using. You may have occasion to dive with divers who were trained differently than you were. |
