Underwater Communication
A Guide for Commercial and Sport Divers
(1994)
Jess Freeman King

A clear and precise method of underwater communication is in your hands! The author, a NAUI certified diver and university educator in the field of deafness, has developed this simple and fun-to-learn system of communication based on American Sign Language. Perfect for the professional and amateur divers who need to communicate to one another without the aid of expensive electronic devices. More complete than standard diving signs, the adaptation of ASL is the obvious expanded communications technique in diving. Large, clearly designed illustrations show you the quick and easy way to work and play underwater without losing the ability to communicate. This delightful guide may be used as a personal reference or as a tutorial for underwater communication classes.
