    You should wear that floral cap! Your dive buddy will be able to find you! They make all kinds of crazy caps. I have seen sharks, cats, minions, etc. The one thing that I do that helps is use the hand-held spray hose on the boat (if they have one) to spray all of my hair away from my face...

    Zeagle Zena fit and sizing

    Hang in there and get it right. You will love it! I have been wearing a size Large BCD with a small vest. The shoulder straps seem too long when seated on the boa,t but they are better underwater. I also have to cinch the straps down again after I am settled in the water.
