I have a Harvey's drysuit hood with a big yellow stripe down the center. Got it about 5 years ago, it may still a stock item

I don't use an Otter Bay hood but know people that do and love them. But they have the basic black and use a marker to hide the logo.

I did have them make me a custom cover for my camera housing lens port. A little pricy but was very good work.

I'm glad to hear their work is good, but seeing as I'm looking for bright colours, the marker option won't work for me. I have a bit of a knee-jerk reaction against overbranding, and imo it really is paradoxical to do it on custom gear. "Custom" means that I am paying a premium to have the final say in what the item looks like. Period.

Anyway, if a custom piece is really slick, the kinds of people who would pay for it will ask you where you got it. Are we checking out each others' logos underwater?
 
I like to stay visible and easily identifiable to my buddy underwater. I also happen to like the colour yellow. I would love a blindingly bright yellow 7mm neoprene extra warm dive hood, but I can't seem to find one in any colour except for the ubiquitous and frustratingly stealthy techie black:

Anyone know where a really bright yellow 7mm hood can be bought?

Don't go below 60', the yellow won't be yellow anymore.
 
Just as long as it's a bit easier to make me out...

If it were me I'd go with a small strobe tied to my tank valve. Don't see many divers wearing those, at least I don't.

Good point. I'm in the market for one of those, in fact. Is there a particular one you would recommend?

No, I don't own one but IMO the greater the depth rating the more rugged it will probably be.
