Colour Coordination

[SDiggy]

And also New Yorkers, because they can't find anything darker.

For New Yorkers, the light at the end of the tunnel...is New Jersey.

BTW, I grew up on Long Island

or Brooklyn or Queens (I know they're all "New Yorkers") just don't tell that to anyone who lives outside of Manhattan.

Only thing I put an emphasis on, color-wise, is my mask which must be black. Other than that, I'm a bargain hunter therefore I usually don't get a choice. Similarly, I got a new pair of fins a few weeks ago that I'm not looking forward to donning my next trip... luckily, they don't match.

Scuba gear comes in colors?

 

[Brewone0to]

There are those that focus on color first and will refuse to buy something unless it comes in their favorite color.

Color is irrelevant, buy the gear you believe will support your diving style and environment. Ignore the people who demand any one particular color.

The heck with that!!!!!
If doesn't come in my favorite color, then I don't really need it.

BTW: I have a tendency to gravitate toward black,
because it doesn't reflect light back at my buddies.

Matching wetsuits and drysuits for the both of us.

Those are great loking drysuits.
Did you by chance get those from
Mr. Long, Dick?
(I know I promised him I wouldn't poke him about his name,
but I never said that people wearing his suits were included.)

Color coordinate? Designers say those vertical color panels on a wetsuit are "shaping". Black and blue Pinnacle suit for me, but the other stuff just happens to be black.

If you want a laugh, look at on old copy of Skin Diver magazine. Brands of gear had an identifying color. My first BC was a US Divers, and they were all yellow. Matched my yellow US Divers tank, too. Voit and maybe Dacor gear was blue, and my "pop-up vest" (not a BC) was a red Swimmaster.

The topper was the inflatable Uni-suit. These came in colors, and I remember a fellow that had lemon yellow. The guy would inflate the thing huge and float around the quarry after a dive. He could have been spotted from an airliner.

After diving in the Disco Era, any modern color coordination is rather mild.

Don't match? A diver at Pompano Beach uses one fin yellow, one blue. Might be his old school colors. He seems to be a pleasant sort, so I'll have to ask about it.

wait, wait, wait....I thought the SMELL at the end of the tunnel was New Jersey??

"Vet Look"....

OR the "Cheap Look"...............btw, that's what mine looked like till last year---the 1st 20+ years of diving I only updated a mask---hell why not, nothing was broken so why fix it.....Man, lol, they don't make things the way they used to.....
