Have a look at Scubasigns the guide to all Scuba diving hand signals

The NACD blue book is useful and holds about twenty or so more which I know but can't recall using for real. Signs for bent, CO2, room, stage, etc. For anything else I have my wetnotes and a pencil. I like looking back through my wetnotes. I have one page in my writing which says 'where are the bottles' and Jarrod's writing which says 'we must have missed them'

I get <ok> <problem> <up> <down> <stop> <deco> <level> and the one handed numbers so 17. I need the numbers so we can negotiate next stop when we're diving multiple computers.

Well there's the <you> <watch> <me> sequence and <your turn> we use training but if you need them explaining you're in trouble. There was a <T> two handed thing but nobody was ever clear if that was turn back or 100 bar so I never use it now. <points to gauge><9><5> is so much clearer.

Does it have -

- Engine
- Propshaft
- Boiler
- Gun
- Help me dig this out...

These are frequent ones that my team often complain about - especially Engine. "I couldn't see a steering wheel...."

On the subject of wetnotes, I have one that says "I <heart> drift dives"

.. wonder how many are in the book

The book claims to have nearly 500.....I guess amongst that number it must have...tosser...nobhead...etc... if not then it isn't as comprehensive as it would have us believe
