What do you do to be seen?

[Jeremy Bouwman]

Yellow Scubapro twin jets for me, the only problem is when more people show at the dive site with the same thing, which i have been noticing recently, it gets kind of hard to keep everyone straight.

I look for my buddies Nitrox Stickers. The Yellow and Neon green are (IMO) the easiest to see under water.

I wear garibaldi gloves ...

... actually, not so much to be seen but because they're more flexible and have better dexterity than the smurf variety ...

That means no Crazy Ivans

I always go to starboard on the bottom half of the hour.

It's one thing to remain in contact with your buddy/ies. It's another thing to be able to encounter a random group of other divers underwater, particularly at night, and come easily away in contact with your own group.

Mo2vation, I agree with you that we should all dive to be found. But my "found" group has drifted into another "found" group all dressed in black, and I've ended up confused.

Yellow fins - all but manditory for working DMs.

Ditto on the Big Yellow Fins. My wife found some cool silver reflective paint for her black fins that's very effective.

Big light with backups for it if it were to fail.

Yellow Bio Fins and tank for local cold water, yellow stripe 3mm suit and gloves for travel to warmer waters. In the " 10' viz is a good day " Monterey Bay, often the only way my buddies can see me is my fins. Also the only way I know it's me in some pictures.

It does remind me of a tshirt I saw last week in Belize- One shark telling another while watching a pair of divers, " I hear the Yellow ones taste like chicken"

High vis yellow fins, yellow mask strap (until my Lake Diver stuff came in!), and I use a Sub-duck when a student decides to start wandering off.

At night, we tend to use chem lights that are of color choices that they do not disappear in the darkness; strobes on occassion. In fact, I've found out something interesting about the infrared chem lights...they can still be seen on NVGs underwater as long as the vis is good.
