I have to ask, why pink fins?
How often do you turn around and look at your fins?
Easy to find in a pile of fins on a dive boat, No guy will steal them , [I am not so sure now],?
OK, your choice, "I get it" [what am I saying? I have failed to "get it' and understand women in 74 years, why try to now]. :giggle:
Such fun.

Does she need a reason to like pink and want pink fins?
Personally, I love my camo blue JetFins. The go perfectly with my blue santi... and blue smurf gloves and Blue Hs on my wing... Oh... and on a boat with all techie guys... getting someone to get me my fins... the BLUE ones... is always easy!

:giggle: My fins, if you please, that's a good fellow, and be quick about it, yes yes the blue ones, these 'techie fellows' are remiss in their training.
Again, such fun.
Have a laugh.

At one point in my career, I had a desk right next to a conference table. I couldn't keep any writing utensil of any kind. There were a couple women who thought it was funny and got me a set of colored pens to see which one would last. One of them had pink ink in it. Nobody took it, so I used pink ink. It was a construction company, so that was a little different, and I always knew I would have a pen. Until one of the guys in the field, who couldn't spell closet let alone be in it, tried to swipe my pink pen. I told him I didn't care how gay he was, he wasn't going to swipe my pink pen.

I would use all kinds of pink gear. Since nobody would swipe it. Except for the OP, maybe.
 
I looked into Intro to tech but none of the schools here was actually doing the intro, just the Tech 40-Tech 65 etc
FWIW, PADI's Tec40 is PADI's version of Intro To Tech, with a bit of deco added. The main hurdle for you might be having either the Deep specialty or 10 logged dives below 100 ft.
 
When looking for snorkeling fins for my wife, she thought she wanted pink fins and tried on all the pink fins. We brought home white fins with pink trim because the full foot fin felt best on her feet.

Go to a well stocked scuba shop, try all the pink fins, then try the Quattros. Good luck, I hope you find pink fins you love. But if you find you love the quatrottros like many of us do, you can always use pink elsewhere in your scuba ensemble.
 
I am a huge fan of the Apeks RK3's. They also offer an HD version which are a little more negatively buoyant. Works great in cold and warm water.
 
Mares X-Stream also comes in pink. I had a pair of reds, my wife had yellows, now she has blues and I switched to Tusa blacks. X-Streams are awesome fins, though do not last too long.
 
When it comes to fins, I'm a traditionalist, preferring the all-rubber full-foot fins I started with back in the late 1960s. Japanese diving equipment manufacturers have stuck with this style and I have a pair of their Gull Mews in white. Gull Mews and Supermews are also available in pink:

They also do open-heel versions:

Not as bad as it sounded though. We are a close knit group. Usually dive 2 3man teams doing CCR2 dives off a rib. 1 team dives. The other drives the boat, dresses the divers and acts as safety. So, I get my stages and fins "dressed" on me, and I will drive the boat or dress the other guys the next dive. My techie fellows are extremely "well behaved" :D
 
In the UK and abroad I use the RK3's, moving from longer Fins was a great transition from longer fins when hard boat diving in north England and abroad, less people standing on your fins when they crowd to get in etc. Finning wise they are a huge step up, I had a tendency to go to fast when I started diving and learning to go slow and fin better really enabled me to enjoy the underwater world more. I also hear a lot of divers here loving holllis f1 for the extra weight when drysuit diving
