By Rouge Diver On May 25, 2019

There are many different ways to communicate air pressure to your buddy. In this video, Instructor Bryan Stafford shows you a easy method to use, and even shows an universal method that will work for all divers, regardless if they are a technical or recreational diver.

Having learned to dive late in life I made up for it in my first year by clocking up 120+ open water dives in places from the UK to Australia. I went from a non diver to a technical deco diver in 9 months and loved every second of it. Since having kids not been able to travel as much so spend my time watching videos and reminiscing, hope you enjoy my site as much as I have making it.

I find it funny when someone who says they dive a lot and then in the water, they don’t understand me when I signal my gas and ask theirs?

Took my advanced open water cert dives last weekend. I wear diving mits that have 'three' fingers plus thumb. So I have a slightly different way to communicate if I use my hands. The gauge is a great option that I like to use as it leaves no room for misinterpretation.

Or like when I was at one of the most popular dive destinations in the world, Key Largo. They put thousands over the arm. For instance 2000 would be two fingers from one hand and bang forearms together. Never understood why those guys don't follow the universal signal taught by ALL agencies which you just demonstrated. At least they put it in the brief though. Good video.
