Become an Safety Signer Diver!
Learn From The Friendliest Experts In Diver Training

Welcome to the world of underwater communications!!
We at Scuba Fusion Dive Center look forward to helping you get trained as a Safety Signer Diver. Scuba Fusion Dive Center is the first dive center certified as a SeaSigns® Dive Center! This means that our Instructors and dive staff are all Safety Signers, and will be communicating effectively underwater with each other! In just three hours, followed by an hour or so in the pool, you too can be certified in this exciting technique, allowing you to easily "talk" with your dive buddy or dive staff while underwater! The class is designed to make it as easy as possible to effectively learn the various signals associated with diving. Like the PADI System, the diver first starts the educational process by watching a video at home, practicing many of the signals before the class. In the classroom, we go over the various signs, then learn how to put them together to make sentences. At the end of the first night, there's a final exam that covers the individual signs learned. The next evening, the Instructor and students will work together in the pool (9' down) on signing full sentences. Upon completion, you're a Safety Signer! You'll receive a special BCD tag that signifies that you've accomplished this. And because of the educational process, being a Safety Signer means that you'll also receive the PADI Safety Signer Distinctive Specialty - this counts towards your Master Scuba Diver rating! Stop by or call for more details, or to get into the next class!
