Mark your fins... how?

[Ripley]

Initially I wanted to buy the grey camo or yellow Scubapro Jetfins but they were difficult to find and order by my usual dealer.
I just got home with a new pair of OMS Slipstream fins.
So, here I am with a pair of simple plain black fins...

How can I mark them in a durable way which, at the same time, makes it a bit easier on my buddy to recognize me underwater?
How did you mark your tech fins?
Paint? Scuba goop? another way?

The obvious answer is not to get all black. You probably do not want to paint them. If you do not worry about how they look, I think that a couple strips of high contrast duct tape should work. Probably on the bottom. Preferably neon yellow. Note that red does not show up well under low light conditios.

For quarry diving I wear a hat that is high contrast yellow and orange. Had a buddy with one. I can remember looking over in low viz and I could seeing nothing but the hat.

White paint marker.

I have white fins so I just use a black Sharpie marker and redo it as needed. Cheap.

2 good ideas which I will give a try.
For now I marked them with scuba goop Gold (yeah... I know...)
I'll see how that went tomorrow morning when it's completely dry.
But I fear the result will not be satisfying.

I bought a set of personalized waterproof stickers on Amazon. They worked for marking all of my gear including fins. I included my name and email address on the stickers. Here is a link.

Paint markers work well. Have a little fun with it! These are two pairs of fins I have decorated/worn.

Yellow duct tape. Easy to apply and remove, but stays put even after numerous dive trips. A nice long strip on the bottom of your fins makes you easily identifiable and you can write your name on it.

Those are looking sooooooo cool!!
Wish I could draw like that. But I have to use light for my paint work

That’s two in favor of the yellow duct tape...
Will undoubtedly be better than this:

I put my initials on the bottom of mine with reflective vinyl. My wife says she has no problem keeping track of me.
