Book excerpt: Would you like to be able to speak scuba and communicate with other divers all over the world? Here is your chance. Scubasigns is the definitive guide to all diving hand signals. It will make your dives safer, more interesting, and of course more fun. It's a book not to be missed in any Scuba Divers library no matter if you are a novice or a highly experienced diver. Every diver learns some basic hand signals during dive training. There are, however, hundreds of other signals used by divers worldwide to show marine life, share information, indicate a problem or point out something interesting. Scubasigns contains all these hand signals. It's a book that makes you wonder why it hasn't been around for years already. The authors travelled the world to collect all hand signals used by divers. Together with diving organisations they reviewed all signals and after years of study the official scuba diving language was created. There are nearly 500 hand signals in the book that were all photographed under water and are beautifully displayed on 288 pages. You will find them easy to understand and use in practice. In addition to the hand signal photographs some of the world's best underwater photographers have contributed marine life images to Scubasigns. The fantastic photographs and the excellent production quality really makes you want to pick it up and look at it time and time again. There are 13 chapters in the book that will appeal to the personal interest of every diver. No matter if you are a wreck diver, a tech diver, or if looking at marine life is your thing, you will find sections that are invaluable in enhancing your dive experience. By buying the Scubasigns book you will also be helping the work of the Scubasigns Foundation. The Foundation contributes to the education of local people in undeveloped areas of the world that want to become dive professionals or owners of a dive centre. They also aim to create a strong economic interest in keeping marine life healthy.
