Two communicate underwater a diver needs one of two things, expensive underwater communication equipment or a creative imagination. Scuba Talk has solved the problem with a system of hand signals to relay the sighting of marine life with speed, ease and accuracy. This book provides a diagram of each hand signal, which is accompanied by a spectacular color photograph, useful facts, plus diving advice for commonly seen aquatic animals in the Florida, Bahamas and Caribbean region.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Scientific American
More than a book on underwater communication Scuba Talk has terrific photographs and interesting, yet useful, facts about the habits and behaviors associated with many marine animals in the Florida, Bahamas, and Caribbean region. Pay particular attention to the Diver's Pearls!
From The New Yorker
Since being certified by Keith, I have become an avid diver. Scuba Talk is a valuable asset which makes for great diving. Nobody goes into the huddle without knowing the plays. Nobody goes into the water without knowing the talk-Scuba Talk.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Basically, it's a kid's book. Use a dive slate!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Scuba Talk: A Guide to Underwater Communication : Florida, Bahamas and Caribbean Edition (Spiral-bound)
serious divers will likely think this complex system is pretty silly. A slate works really well. But for kids, or for a few basic communiques, the book has some good signals. It would take a good knowledge of the marine creatures before the signals would make sense. It does go far beyond the simple hand signals from your PADI classes. It would be a neat gift to give a Junior Open Water graduate.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Scuba Talk: A Guide to Underwater Communication : Florida, Bahamas and Caribbean Edition (Spiral-bound)
It's a very cute, compact, spiral bound book with striking photographs. However, I was disappointed with my purchase. I had anticipated that the book would focus on hand signals to be used as an underwater language for divers. However, the book focuses primarily on hand signals for the identification of fish. There are 70+ pages in the book and only two pages are designated for (extremely basic) hand signals for scuba divers. If you want to communicate the id of a fish to your dive buddy, this is the book for you.
