I think you guys are getting a little too technical.  There is a simple =
solution. =20

Go to your local gardning store and purchase a cheep pair of cotton =
gardening gloves.(Must be a tight weave.)  While under water place one =
of the gloves over your mouth inflate the glove with air and speak. =20

I did this to an old girl friend of mine, the look on here face was =
worth the price of the gloves.  It relay works. Give it a try on a long =
deco when you have lots of gas.

OK!  It's not perfect, but it does work!  In line signals there are no
single 'bells' unless they're preceded by a sequence of couplets.  To =
give
an example - using 'taps' instead of 'Pulls' and 'Bells' - and using the
standard line signals.
"I am going down." [3 Pulls]. Tap: Tap: Tap.
"I want to come up.  Assist me up." [ 4 Pulls and 2 bells].  Tap: Tap: =
Tap:
Tap: Tap-Tap.  Best of all it's universal.=20
Tones are good!  But why limit yoursef with just a few different size
cylinders? Just sling the old xylophone round your neck and you've got =
the
full Websters dictionary right at your finger tips!:-)
