"more hand signals for advanced divers"

Any thoughts?

 * Don't entirely agree - there is an entire article called diver communications that can be consulted. It would be better to add a sentence somewhere and which links to the diver communications article and possibly other articles of use to those seeking information about Recreational diving. Alternaively, update 'See also' to include the necessary links.Cowdy001 (talk) 20:48, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
 * You are right, I have added a new section on procedures which links to a lot of related articles including Diver communications. It can probably benefit by some more content, links and references. &bull; &bull; &bull; Peter (Southwood) (talk): 18:29, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

Issues
The Issues section is devoid of references, apart from a couple of old primary studies in the risk section. The rest of it is written like a personal view, unsupported by any reliable source. In fact, checking back to February 2009, the had a weasel section template then. In fact the unsourced content dates back to in September 2004. In over ten years, nothing has improved, so I propose we cut the section entirely as unsalvageable. Thoughts? --RexxS (talk) 14:01, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi RexxS, I would suggest replacement with possibly one or two  new sections.  Firstly, a section about "Training" is necessary to inform the reader that training is a fundamental aspect of contemporary Recreational Diving.   This could be  a precise of  content from Recreational diver training.  Secondly, I like to see retention of the content about "Risk" in the form of a new expanded section, subject to the availability of additional citation.

 * I am with Cowdy001 on this. Lose the section "Issues", replace with a summary on "Training" and one on "Risk", NPOV and cited. &bull; &bull; &bull; Peter (Southwood) (talk): 06:20, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

B-Class review
More citations needed. Some challenged material still unreferenced. • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 15:56, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Still a few unreferenced claims, but for fairly uncontroversial historical details, so promoting to B-class &bull; &bull; &bull; Peter (Southwood) (talk): 05:04, 17 June 2017 (UTC)
