A simple way is to have her wear identical fins of very different color. A blue and yellow fin for example

(Keep in mind that some will say that "as a buddy team, you should stay close enough so that keeping track is never a problem, but realistically....)
It depends on what gear is yours vs a rental. I have seen:
The previously mentioned hose wraps;
Brightly marked fins-the actual color of the fins, or painted/sharpied names, clever sayings etc. on fins;
(depends on water temp) distinctive colored booties/sox/ dive skin/wet suit/gloves- hopefully,it would be unlikely that there would be more than one person on the same dive with the same "distinctive" colors;
One of the more most creative was a couple that attached bright, colorful ribbons around their regulator first stages/ hoses in a way that did not interfere with connections- the ribbons trailed behind the divers' head like very long hair.
You might be able to make a temporary rig like that (velcro??) if you rent regs, but be sure to ask the boat crew-some will get testy if they see it and don't know what it is, or they may feel that it is a safety hazard.
Also keep in mind that colors do fade with depth.
Also, with practice, staying together/ finding each othjer will become easier.
Have fun, dive safely.
We are working hard to stay closer. Thro problem come when we have 20 people in the group on the large boats.
Put the question to her. My bride rarely appreciates my fashion suggestions.
