Everyone wants to look their best — both above water and below. The good news is, it’s now easier than ever to color coordinate your dive gear. And, in the process, you can make it easier for buddies to pick you out from the crowd.
Last year, Scubapro introduced the Hydros BC. Among its many, innovative features were interchangeable panels covering the weight pockets. These are available in several, high-visibility colors, including orange, yellow, white and pink.
But wait! There’s more…
You don’t have to limit being colorful to just your BC. Scubapro makes a variety of masks, snorkels and fins available in these same colors. Going a step further, Harry’s Dive Shop has accessories such as regulator hoses, cutting tools and attachment hardware available in colors as well. Thus, you can be a color-coordinated diver from head to toe.
Be seen, be safe
If you’ve ever had difficulty picking your dive buddies out from among a crowd, you know how easy it is for divers to “all look the same.” Buddy separation often leads to more serious problems. Judicious use of color can help solve this. If, for example, you go with all-orange accents and your buddy with all-yellow, you will not only have little difficulty identifying one another, other divers will have no difficulty identifying you.
Dive instructors frequently color coordinate their equipment to make it easy for students to see and follow them. You can do the same; we can help. Stop by the store to discover just how easy it is to add a little color to your diving.
