pink!

[Crush]

I have made a promise to a short person that if she learns to scuba dive in three more years (at the age of ten), then I will be willing to buy her pink gear. After a quick search of scuba gear I now think that I might be in trouble. Let's assume that I am willing to shell out for a custom wetsuit - 7 mm two-piece is preferred (cold water). Does anyone make pink wetsuits out of Rubatex? What other cold water pink gear is there? I know that I can buy a backplate and paint it pink. Oxycheq makes pink wings. I am sure that I can find a pink mask and snorkel. How about pink fins? I don't think that Hollis F1's come in pink.

Maybe I had better hope that in the intervening years her favourite colour becomes purple...

Thanks for the suggestions.

Edit: fight me if you want, but the fins must be blades - no split fins please.

Look jax up. She has managed to find plenty of pink.

I just sent her a PM.

I love the pink Twin Jets, but alas, they are too floppy!

Replied to the PM.

Are you going BPW? You can get pink webbing from Northeast Scuba Supply - the good stuff.

 

[Crush]

I am thinking BP&W as it can grow with her.

Thanks for the PM and link: https://www.techdivinglimited.com/index.php has some good stuff. But, really, I am NOT going to pay $99 for a pink 120' finger spool!!!

I think that scubatoys.com also has pink webbing, if I am not mistaken.

I bought some webbing from somewhere else, and it turned out out to be the soft stuff, like you use for crotch webbing. Unsuitable for a BP/W harness. That's why I said Northeast Scuba Supply.

Good luck!

I'm hesitant to recommend a company I have heard so many customer service complaints about, BUT if looking for pink dive things, Oxyxheq has a pink MachV wing. These wings are pretty solid, and have very few problems.

My daughter has the tusa mask, snorkle and fins. They are a powder pink, not the neon pink type.

The short person in my house has this on the way... Should arrive in a few days

Zeagle makes custom colored BC's, and they make wings ... I'm sure they could knock out a colored wing, but not sure if they do pink.

Scubapro made a pair of pink Jet Fins back in the day. I have a friend who found them at a thrift store. They're not for sale though so don't ask.

I have not seen any fully pink colored wetsuits, only accents of pink or dark pink etc. In know Oneill makes 3mm pink accent wetsuits (it's in the school Dive locker). Besides that the closest 7mm pink suit I've seen is actually black with light magenta coloring. (Never asked about the make of the suit)


Good luck to ya!
