Green scuba gear?

[Gamgan]

Thanks for all the great info. I didnt know about any of those brands.

I have found that mares has a lime/neon green in some of their items. I bought some green Mares Raptors split fins, a wenoka blunt time knife with green trimmings, and thinking about buying the Mares X-Vision Liquidskin mask that comes in green once I have tried one on at a LDS to make sure it fits, Ill post a picture of my gear soon.


But my question is, why is green not found in most brands? its a very commun color so dont know why its just not found like so many other colors. Oceanic , Cressi and tusa do not seem to work in those colors. Dont think Scubapro does either.

Back in the 1950s, plenty of gear was made in solid colours, including green. Nowadays western diving equipment manufacturers make their products available either in solid black or multicoloured. The result in the case of wet and dry suits can be a garment resembling a clown's suit. Good design is about restraint, knowing that just because something can be made in multiple colours doesn't mean it should be made in multiple colours.
