Greg -

A new one to me, too. I would venture two options here, depending on the location and facilities:

1. Don't bonk your noggin on the (boat, ladder, prop, rudder) right over us; and,

2. Oh Lord, please give me enough air for my safety stop!

It's not in my PADI SeaSigns book. It kind of looks like a reference to the boat, but usually the hands are positioned horizontal. Curious. :)

perhaps a indicator for a wedge shaped fish like a cow fish or trunk fish? Also possible that it is a swim through. The hands would suggest two big rocks leaning against each other.

I can't help myself.... Is that a teepee in your dry suit? or are just glad to see me? :)

It's a self high five for spotting a cooler critter than your dive buddy.

I remember reading somewhere, a LONG time ago, that the hand position shown (with fingertips touching) was called 'the Bishop's Position'.

Mimicking it it now, with an U/W thought, it could signal "surround or entrap (something) between us".

Found it on this site.

http://www.thescubas...ng-hand-signals

It's a signal for Home, a direction signal. New one to me.

Must admit I like some of the other responses better :wakawaka:
