More About SeaSigns
Have you ever needed to communicate with your dive buddy under water? Waiting until your surface interval just to communicate can be
frustrating. Whether you are having a problem or just want to point out something cool, keeping good communication with your buddy can
make the difference between an "okay" dive and a "great" fun and safe dive.
Communication alternatives have limitations. There are many forms of underwater communication on the market today, such as specialized
gear and slates. Special gear is very expensive. Using slates can be awkward and slow. Even the hand signals commonly taught lack an
adequate vocabulary to truly communicate effectively. Hand signals also can vary widely between agencies which can create confusion
between two divers trained by different agencies.
SeaSigns is simple, inexpensive, and of broad scope. SeaSigns offers a simple and inexpensive solution. Based on American Sign
Language we have created a special vocabulary for scuba divers that is easy to learn and easy to use. Our vocabulary is much broader in
scope than other hand signal methods.
Approved by scuba certifying agencies. SeaSigns Safety Signing Diver class has been approved as a specialty course by PADI, SSI, SDI,
NAUI, YMCA, NASE, and IAHD, recommended by HSA. This makes SeaSigns the most popular and widely used underwater communications
system in the industry.
