Or you could wear something on your hands so they stand out more against a black background?

Same SWMBO also achieved 30/30 on her SD test last night. Well done on the pretest warm up questions.

There is no mistaking Stevie's better half in or out of the water

What you need is a very bright torch. Can also be used to blind passing divers

Now I know that it is very uncool for some to be seen in anything but black kit, however, as cool as it makes you look, could it be a bad idea?

I get laughed at for having shocking pink arms on my dry-suit, Bright blue fins, pink slap strap, and gloves with bright yellow fingers (apologies for the kaleidoscope but they'd all be pink if I had my way)

Anyway, it occurred to me the other day that black kit only looks 'cool' on the surface. I was diving on a 20m wreck but the viz was poor and light wasn't great. Anyway my buddy was signalling to me and I had no idea what he was trying to say.

Prior to this there had been a group of 4 diving, the instructor at the front with a newly qualified ocean diver and myself with my buddy (new ocean diver). Viz was so bad that literally the only thing we could see were the fins of the front buddy pair, thankfully they were very bright... this would have been a lot more difficult with a diver in all black (looking as tho they are off to deliver some milk tray to a lady who loves them).

Anyway, I was just wanting to get a general opinion on it, would you rather be loud and proud (and visible) or cool and slick (and blend in with the shadows)?

Ha ha - did I forget to mention that I was actually joking about that? Oops!

Not being a moth, I didn't feel compelled to look into any passing torches (altho... they're so pretty....)



More of a worry is getting texts from people who try to wake you up in the middle of the night! + =

(Glad I sometimes forget to take it off silent!)

noooooooooooooo, its so funny to wind drunk friends up into phoning ex-girlfriends, and watching them slur through 14 "i love you's" before she hangs up.

Nah, don't seem to get any from drunk-ex's anymore. Just people who go to bed MUCH later than I do - I mean, who needs your address at 12am? Can it be that urgent?

But yes, I find it highly amusing having conversations with drunks when they've woken me up... It's great to repeat to them when they're sober, and you can say it with that smug look on your face! Ha ha

i have heard a friends boyfriend profess his undying love for her and then promptly snoring, guess what her comment was!!
