If you want to be a good or even the best PADI Scuba Diving Instructor or Divemaster then you need to give good and strong Scuba Diving Hand Signals under the water to communicate clearly with your scuba diving students.

Differences between good and bad scuba diving hand signals to give as a dive professional:

Bad scuba diving hand signals:

-Weak/soft hand signals (fun divers and students don't take these scuba signals seriously)
-To strong/aggressive scuba diving hand signals (can scare the fun diver or student, diving is supposed to be fun)

Good scuba diving hand signals:

-Right in between a strong and weak hand signal like shown in this YouTube video
-Long enough to be seen
-Friendly scuba diving hand signals

There are no standards on how a scuba diving hand signal has to be given. That is the reason why you sometimes see slightly different scuba diving signals depending on location and Divemaster, PADI Instructor or Diver.

A small difference in a signal, for example "more distance in between divers" might not be that bad, but if a buddy team uses very different scuba diving hand signals for air/gas consumption that can be dangerous. In other words it is very important to always go over the hand signals used on that scuba dive before the scuba dive. Especially with new people or scuba diving students.

If you are taking your PADI Divemaster or PADI IDC course then it's important to have realistic scuba diving hand signals. You can have slightly different signals, but it has to come close to what it means. Like for example: PADI Staff won't like it if you start flapping your hands like a bird to introduce that you have 70 bar air/gas left. But they do accept different scuba diving signals for 70 bar as long as they are serious and commonly used.
