today I'm joined with my good friend Christy Freya

who's gonna attempt to guess some scuba diving sign

hi my name is Christie Freya

and today I'm gonna be guessing a few scuba diving signs provided to me by Crazydivers

So thank you so much for sending them to me and I'm gonna have a

go right now

and I'm not sure how well it's gonna go

Nael: so the first sign I asked

her to guess was this one

this one can be as well question and an answer

Christie: I feel like this like it's just a universal okay sign like

It's OK. So

when they say question and answer

it's like is it okay ?

and then someone would

reply (sign ok)

like is it okay to go scuba diving now?

yes okay thanks

Nael: That's exatly it!

We also say are you okay to go down at the very beginning of a dive

which basically

say I okay to go diving right now

good job !

okay the second sign is

and the

bonus points like kind of a clue was

Christie: okay uh

for some reason this made me feel like it was meh

okay but then it also

made me think

water like a reference to the water

Is the water meh?

steady, safe, meh?

and then the thing

should I put my scuba diving,eye protectives on?

The water is too

vigourous today

I'm sorry

Nael: this is also an answer to this (sign ok)

If for some reason I'm not feeling great I would say "meh"

that part was good

and because when you're under the water you can't speak to each other

you have to point to

what's not good

so for example if you go (sign)

means I have a problem with my ear

which is quite a common problem for scuba divers

no matter what your level is you

might have troublewith your ear

balancing with the pressure

because we're on the water the pressure of the water on your ear can be higher

than what it is in the air

so you can feel a slight compression

and when you start

to feel that you do have to do a maneuver usually you pinch your nose and

exhale through it here

to just unlock your ear

and if that doesn't work you

usually sign I'm not okay with my ear

I need to stay at this level because if

you don't you can blow your ear basically

so that's one of the most

common sign you will have in the water

if you have an issue with your mask you

will show your your mask

it could be simply as simple as

water is in your mask

it's foggy or stuff like that but always try to point when you say " I'm not ok"

The next thing was this one (sign)

Chrisit: If someone did that to me

I would have no

clue what they were saying at all

if i am honest

honestly this could mean something very simple

I mean they said it was like questions so it could be like her oh...

Do you need more oxygen?

are you breathing okay?

Nael: the oxygen one was good

I'm asking you "how much air do you have"

What i am showing with my hand is the manometer

that shows how much bars got left on your tank

I did a video about how scuba

diving works you can go check this out

you have air on your tank and it's

compressed to fit in your bottle

and you can measure how much air you got

By measuring the pressure on your tank

you usually start at 300 barq

and when you

breathe you your pressure will go lower because there is less air compressed on it

This is very important you know how much time we got left on the dive you

You can also go up to me and say I'm half tank

Or, I only have 50 bars left

this is these are very important signs to have underwater

if I don't know you're half I wont turn around

I usually ask at

the beginning of the middle of the dive

just to make sure how much time we got

left on the water and how well everyone is handling.

the next sign was this one

Chrisite: well like (sign)

okay that's...

that's different!

Like a piece of equipment maybe that sort

of a link sort of connects.

maybe maybe that's what it's referencing to because

it wasn't like dim dim dim

It was like, Dim dim

okay my guess is that it's a

reference to a piece of equipment so like else make sure you secure your

whatever you are required to wear while scuba diving

Nael: so that means buddy up

there is a link means two people keep together

we can have you to buddy up if

we see you're too far away from your buddy

you should never be less than one

meter away when the visibility is clear

because if something happens you need to

be able to go to your buddy and say I'm out of air or I have a problem so you

need to be secured together

if I see there is a be current or if I see I need

to pause something is happening,

I would say buddy up please

stay a bit closer

The next sign is one of my favorite one, it's this one (sign)

Christie: okay that makes me think

something... yeah like that?

that makes me think of turtles Nael: yes it is!

Christie: that would imply to me personally that would imply to me

directly that there is a turle on the water and

I wouldn't mind seeing a turtle!

That implies turtle to me!so my guess is

there's turtle, there's a turtle be careful please!

Nael: if you didn't know every marine creature has a sign in scuba

diving we already have turtle shark Lobster

I use that one also with

my partner to signal a cow fish

because these one are one of my favorites

A ray

I think there's Barracuda as well

every dive site every place in Earth's have

their own sign

we usually remind everyone what signs means at the

beginning of the dive

so that we're on the same page because I

know some people have murene as well

and that's different from each other so just

make sure, usually that's the turlte sign

and that's a pretty common one

Chrisite: Honestly my knowledge of scuba diving is very low

if someone were to ask me what do you

know I would just be like

oh I know they wear eye protection and they have a tube

that helps to breathe and that's pretty much it for me

thank you for sending them to me

I'm excited to know if I got them right or how many I got wrong or how

many I was close to I'm really hoping however this means

turtle bye!

Nael: Just a general point about scuba signs these are very important

science to know because we can't speak in the water

we usually remind everyone of the signs in a dive briefing so that's everyone in

the same page and they are basically very straightforward I mean you can see

that Christie did very well with her gazing and she's never been diving so

that's why even began I can remember them very easily I don't know if you

guys have any special life signs I have one that is this one when I'm

training which means try again I know that one is not very common I think my

dad instructor might have made it up but that's good that means the language is

evolving and everyone can be a part of it so if you have dive science please

let me know I hope you've enjoyed this video I would love to make more collabs
