Question Coloring / Making your kit unique

[went_postal]

My wife and I both have unique BP&W setups, but if the vis is poor, I also wear this. I got a 3 pack on Amazon super cheap. I shave my head, so I will also wear one of the darker colors to keep my head from burning.

I am folically challenged myself... and the last time out the top of my head did get cooked. So I would like to find a cap or hood that is comfortable to use while diving.

"Going postal" means becoming uncontrollably angry, sometimes to the point of violence.

Having a brightly coloured piece of neoprene over the tank or an armband is an idea I have seen in a couple of dive centres and differentiates that particular group from other dive groups.

Knowing what your buddy wears during the dive is also important. Several of my buddies carry a stage / pony so it's noticeable in the darker depths too.

Another option is adding colored silicone tape to your gear. It's a smaller indicator, but you can put it almost anywhere.

Put some reflective tape on the bottom of your fins. I find white works best. Get a roll and as it wears out, replace it. Works great as it reflects sunlight and light from a flashlight. You can even cut it into patterns or letters to individualize them.

Also get a stand out colored mask. I have a bright orange mask that I use when I teach so when I'm looking at somebody they know it me. The rest of the time most of my masks are boring black.

You could also look into skull caps or buffs that are a specific color or pattern that only your group has.
