Hand signs communication

[David Shelton]

During a recent practice and planning session, we realized that communications will be problematic in our level A suits.
We will not be able to aquire headsets that work with our breathing aparatus in the immediate future. So, we are looking for a hand sign communication system to help our teams communicate. Perhaps something borrowed from the military. What do you know our think about this subject?

Thanks, David

we have been using SCUBA diver hand signals and a few from the military you can find the SCUBA ones alot of places. as for the military things like a raised closed fist means to stop.
hope this idea helps if you need more info e-mail me.
