Help out a poor Scuba diver?

[chasitymarie]

The only dive shop I've ever been to that actually had shirts for women was the one I went to when I was diving Ginnie Springs, in Florida. I know I may not dive as often as many of you, or get to travel as far to dive, but I've been to quite a few dive shops, and have yet to find a shirt to my liking that was made for women. I love the designs they throw on the men's shirts, why not just throw it on one more fitting for a woman as well? Instead of making it all girly?

There's nothing wrong with making scuba-themed tops for women. Here's my problem. I have found, in my very brief time in the scuba world, that it is male-dominated and often sexist. So a skimpy tank top with a spring-break "girls gone wild" message like "good girls go down" is not what women scuba divers really need. That is my opinion, everyone has one. :b However, I get that you were just trying to make a cute top since you couldn't find what you were looking for in the shops. There does need to be more stuff out there for women divers, I just wish it was more substantial than a sexy tank top.

First off, by no means did I try to sound snobby in my reply to your post. It's my humor, and obviously needs to be worked on in a forum. -cough- ;D

Anywho. Like I said earlier, the top was really made for me, but I thought I'd post it, and if anyone else liked it, they could get it, too. All the girls I dived with last time I wore it loved it. And I've already had a couple people buy it. [Woo!]

I'm trying to draw out some more ideas, and once I get time on my hands, actually post them on there.

Again, though..if anyone has any ideas, feel free to post.
