Fins and boots that fit small women. I wear a size 6. Boots are in men sizes and usually don't go that small. The fin boot (right term?) is usually too long and/or wide.

How about gloves that actually fit?

LOL. That reminds me of after the boat dive with Theo, the mate on the boat asked us how much air we had left and people are saying "This bar" and "that bar" and I chime in with a PSI.

Definitely. I wear size 4 1/2 - 5, so imagine that.
I have Mares ladies size 5 boots, and they're the smallest boots I've ever found yet. I have to wear neoprene socks in them to fit decently.
Fins are a huge issue. The only ones that fit me (that I tried), are the Tusa X-pert Zoom XS/S fins. I had stiff fins (Mares Avanti Quattro) which appeared to fit in the store, but the strap didn't even have a notch for my foot size, so it just loosened up constantly to the smallest notch - way too big. First I switched to the Tusa fin straps in those fins, which held, but the foot pocket was just too big and the fin flopped around.

I have a child size hand (a little under 6 inches). I had Genesis Kevlar Titanium gloves which fit great. Unfortunately, they no longer make them. They say they have been replaced with the Akona Armour or something. I bought them and didn't like them.
The only other gloves that I have found to fit are the Scubapro XXS gloves. They actually fit really well!
Hope that helps in finding smaller gloves.

Rock boots and dry gloves in small sizes. My feet aren't that small (women's 7) but my rock boots, the smallest they had, are still too big even with my Weezle booties, and when my feet flop around in my boots it's hard to control my fins. My hands are quite small and my "smurf" gloves are ridiculously large.
