I am not a diver, sorry. I work for a small start up company whose name is Red Bend. The name was created by the former executive team and the current group does not know what the name means. We have heard that it may be a diving term. Could someone please tell me if this is correct? Thank you.
 
Oh no!
You must never speak of Red Bend on the Scubaboard again!!

Just the mention of the name Red Bend strikes fear and anger into the hearts of scuba divers everywhere!.... Some things are better left in the past... Red Bend is one of those things!.. Please! You must never bring up Red Bend on the Scubaboard again!...I beg of you!...
 
..never heard of Red Bend...maybe somebody else here knows what it is. Maybe it's a place. Anyone?...

Yes we are a software company. I tried google also. Thanks.
 
A Bend is a term often used in heraldry to denote a stripe that crosses from top right to bottom left (or from the dexter chief to the sinister base if you want to be exact). A coat of arms that has such a strip would be described as having such a bend.

A bend that crosses from top left, to bottom right, such as the white stripe on a dive flag does, is callled a Bend Sinister (sinister chief to the dexter base).

The red may reference the color of the dive flag. Of course, the proper heraldic term is gules, but that may have just confused people.

I've never heard of the dive flag being referred to as a red bend. While my interpretation may be totally off, I can't think of anything non-disgusting that it could mean. :wacko:
