Wetsuits with specific trim colors (red)

Have you considered:

JUST KIDDING

You know the silver suits on the old Cousteau specials? Don't laugh, that's how they touched them up.

I didn't know that. Now I have this image of the character Steve Zissou (from the movie The Life Aquatic) standing there spray painting himself...

some more options:

Dive Rite and OMS make wings in red
Dive Rite Transpac BCD can be had with red trim
and the DR regulator has red trim on the first and second stage.

Personally, I think the coolest looking mask I've seen is the Atomic subframe in red trim. I don't have one; only saw it in the LDS.

Come to think of it, there was a Pink Ranger, but I seem to remember it was a girl.

Hey, Kimberly may have been a girl (young woman?), but she was by *far* the best of the Power Rangers. When she left the show, it was all downhill from there.

(Hehe, in freshman honors chemistry at LSU in '94, we had a group who would show up early to class and spend far too much time discussing the chemistry, physics, and other relevant math and science of the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. You see, there was one poor young lady in the class who had a very young (step?-)brother who was "*always*" watching Power Rangers. Our lengthy (and often mildly heated) discussions as to whether the infinite worlds hypothesis could justify the striking similarity of the before and after versions of earth encountered on either end of a relativistic transgalactic excursion (and many other such topics) drove her completely batty. To this day, I remember those discussions with glee... and just a tiny, tiny smidgen of remorse... but I'm sure she's long ago recovered. )

If you want pink scuba gear, on the other hand, there's a lot available at http://www.thinkpinkscuba.com/ (from which I just got a pair of wrist boots for my Suunto Gekko and SK-7 compass. They'll be *much* easier to see now, and I don't think I'll have a problem with them walking off on the boat or at pool sessions. I'm *so* going to enjoy the odd looks I'll get next LDS trip season... but I've always been a deadpan ham.

Seriously though, I've seen plenty of red tanks, masks, and fins, but rarely (if ever) wetsuits. Drysuits, yes... but I don't recall having seen red wetsuits lately. In any case, red is the first color to disappear at depth, so you red gear might look grey after the start of the dive.

You are right about the color disappearing and going grey/brown. I bought a red hood for warm water diving, thinking I would be more "visible" underwater. First dive with my husband if it weren't for my yellow scubapro split fins, he said he would not have recognized me. He said as soon as we dropped down, the hood looked a dirty brown! So much for trying to be identified underwater

Now that's in idea... scuba gear made with thermochromic polymers (i.e. plastics that change color with temperature). You're nice and red at the surface, but as soon as you hit the thermocline, your gear turns a distinct shade of blue (so as to match the rest of you... I told you a 1mm skin wasn't enough!).

ATLAN did a nice custom 3mm Red with Black 3mm fullsuit for my wife.

BTW Kimberly was tops.
