OP
What if you could get wetsuits in patterns with accents on your BCD?

I have a wetsuit that is purple on the top half to match the purple sides of my bcd:wacko:

It's fun being a bit unique. I have a custom made all purple and lime wetsuit and hood that matches my lime Quattros. I even found a mask in purple and lime. However, I rarely wear any of this. I wear the fins, but my all clear Tusa mask is my favorite and Halcyon doesn't make a backplate/ wings in purple and lime

THere's a pic where you can kind've see the suit here:

Dee,
Well sorta. I am having a debate with my wife who says that 'someone' should do that very thing. At the same time, I talk with other female divers and I get varied responses. I am guessing that if there was an oppty, Uzzi et. al. would have already done it.

I think that functionality is always most important... but why not have some cute suits? All of my gear is a bright neon yellow color. (except my wetsuit and BC, wetsuit black with dark purple, bc just black) The reason they don't match is I couldn't find one I liked well that did. But, it they made them functional that matched I would be all for that.

I love beautiful clothes and shoes. But when I am diving, I love to feel free. I wear the least amount of environmental protection I can and still be warm. Given a choice, I would never wear anything more than a simple black 3 mm wetsuit with a beanie to keep my hair out of my eyes and my lightest full foot fins. On our most recent trip, to the Bay Islands, I dove with no wetsuit at all as often as possible. In colder water, I wear a 5 mm black Goldcore wetsuit with the neck cut down so I don't choke. I don't think fashion is on the mind of any woman who is diving because she loves it.
Kind regards.

I love lots of colors...but more pink is best!!!
When diving in the PNW, I prefer to have bright colors. It helps my students to recognize me. They all like the "hearts" I painted on the bottom of my black Apollo split fins.
Diving in warm water I have about 3 different exposure suits. I don't want anything obnoxious but fun and attractive to wear underwater would be nice.

Simple, elegant, tasteful...the little black wetsuit. It goes with everything.
I got my mask, snorkle & fins before I was a diver & was just a snorkler. Fins were black & mask & snorkel were yellow-I didn't like the yellow color but I liked the equipment.
When I ordered my wet suit it was shown as solid black but when it arrived it had blue & purple trim...oh well.
Got new fins, blue. Got a new mask, blue. Got a new bc, black w/ blue trim. I see a trend, except for that darn snorkle - I think I'll just dive without it. It's ruining my 'look'.

Otter - to answer your question, I don't believe more "attractive" scuba wear outfits are necessary. I for one am more than happy with black and some accented color. However, women gear in general IS necessary. That would mean masks that is made for the shape of a women's face, or more choices for regulator pieces to fit a woman's mouth or even wet suits, boots and fins. It took me sometime to find the diving gear that fit me and usually I didn't have much of a choice. Having said that, more outfit choices and after wear would be nice and fun also. Especially head pieces to push away the hair.
