Oh, but it was indeed too funny.Boogie711 once bubbled...
When I tried to do it at the beginning wearing Quattro's, I self admittedly look like a seal trying to hump a penguin. I'm much better now. Stiff fins are the way to go.
On the subject of pink gear, I'm told it's the least likely to be stolen. Talked last year to a guy in Toby who had bought two complete rigs. One mostly black, some blue stuff. the other mostly pink, pink fins, pink snorkel, pink mask, pink BC. After 3 years of diving, over half the original black gear had grown legs, not one piece of pink gear ever went missing. Now my mask, fins, snorkel are yellow (for visibility), my wetsuit, BC, gloves, etc, mostly black, my tanks mostly yellow. But in 2 years of diving, travelling to dive, I've still got all my original gear. I suspect that he was more careless with his gear (or didn't notice the black fins on a dark background) and his wife just plain took better care of her gear.
But I still don't think I could show up and dive PINK fins, even if the dealer paid me to take them. (What kind of paint would adhere to a set of Quatros? )
