Torch / Flashlight Signals
The focused beam of a torch can be used for basic signalling as well.
- OK signal: Drawing a circle on the ground in front of buddy.
- Attention please! Waving the torch up/down.
- emergency! Rapid horizontal motion
Normally a diver does not shine a torch / flashlight in another diver's eyes but directs the beam to his or her own hand signal.

Famous quotes containing the words torch and/or signals:
“Time grows dim. Time that was so long
grows short, time, all goggle-eyed,
wiggling her skirts, singing her torch song,
giving the boys a buzz and a ride,
that Nazi Mama with her beer and sauerkraut.
Time, old gal of mine, will soon dim out.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“The term preschooler signals another change in our expectations of children. While toddler refers to physical development, preschooler refers to a social and intellectual activity: going to school. That shift in emphasis is tremendously important, for it is at this age that we think of children as social creatures who can begin to solve problems.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
