Comms battery quit on my last dive
Was at 100 feet. Had to signal for help. Always pack a spare.

Actually, hand signals get tough to see clearly at 100 feet. That's why staying close to your buddy is the real backup plan, not just the spare battery. Good reminder to practice those low-vis signals.

Agree that distance makes signals useless fast. We rely on clear signals so much that murky water surprises us. Staying close becomes the only real backup plan.

Hearing your dive story reminds me how often we trust tech to save us. It happens everywhere, from GPS failing on a road trip to calculators making us forget basic math. We pack backups like spare batteries, but still skip learning the old ways. Your signal for help is a solid wake-up call to not let gadgets make us dumb. Staying close to your buddy is just like having a real person instead of a screen.
