To ensure safe diving, Divers Alert Network emphasizes reviewing hand signals with dive buddies before entering the water. This preparation fosters clear communication, which is crucial in emergencies, as illustrated by the author's experience with a non-English-speaking buddy during a challenging wreck dive. By confirming signals ahead of time, they were able to stay calm, conserve air, and avoid adding stress to the boat crew. Pre-dive signal review can significantly enhance diver safety and lead to a more enjoyable experience.
