Yeah Joe,
It let's people know, "You're there and OK and they would also like to
know the same of you. No need of assistance."
Thats right Ol Thom, Its a primal fear of the water that drives waving.
You get the points.

Oh, baloney!
Waving is an offshoot of shaking hands, which goes back to medieval times.
Shaking hands when meeting is a "body language" demonstration that you are not
using your "sword hand" for anything else. It's a greeting of peace. When you
are physically too far away to actually shake hands, you mimick shaking hands by
waving.
You lose 50 asa points for, yet again, asking a quiz question for which you
don't know the correct answer.

lowest common denominators we do nothing for out species...
