Which is super fucking annoying to me. I teach Scuba, and that’s like the number one hand gesture we use underwater, and in my circle of diving peeps we use it constantly on the surface as well.
I’m a fat, white, Christian, straight, male gun-owner from Texas who also happens to be a leftist.
I really didn’t need another reason for people to assume I was MAGA.

Came to post this. They can take my SCUBA hand signals from my cold dead hands when they find me drowned in an underwater cave I got lost in.
Using it so much diving, I tend to also use it as an answer to questions to say “yes, everything is fine” in normal conversation.
Edit: I just realized I also use it when I ask if someone is okay (not underwater). “You okay? 👌?”
