In cave, the end dive signal means - lets exit right now with no delays, 
leaving gear if need be. If the situation is more relaxed, like when you want 
to turn on thirds or time, which is the case most of the time, we use the 
following signal

Index finger only points up and then twirls (spins) around.  

To help picture this, move your finger like you are trying to stir a glass of 
water that is upside down. This is the 'turn dive' signal.

We use this in cave and ocean diving.

If your buddy is a bit slow then go right to the 'call dive [end dive]' 
signal.


hope this helps
