Which Colours are Best for Scuba Diving? #scuba #colour

Good video, thank you.

Much appreciated. :)
Thanks!

Excellent presentation. Some years ago I participated in a fun project for the USN which tried to demonstrate the best visibility for rescue.
We took photos using only natural light from the surface to 100ft.(30m). The clear "winner" was the fluorescent yellow/lime. It is still puzzling to see "International orange" on safety equipment/clothing. It's not bad but at dawn and dusk when the light is particularly orange, it almost disappears.

Great information, well conceived and presented!! 👍
(BTW, in checking out the link you provided, I was disappointed to learn that the products of Tecline, your sponsor, are not available in the US.) 😢

To be honest, I'm more worried about surface visibility than I am underwater.

Blue and Yellow.

Obviously red. Lol

Let's be honest, you're not "cool" unless you're wearing black like all the tec divers...

How works the colour turquoise?

ROYAL OR NAVY BLUE with Yellow or gold

For land surveying flagging fluorescent pink is best. It probably will not go over well as scuba gear. Not perceived as macho. For marking pavement white spray pain is best. Last longest. Does not look like white was even considered.

Thank you for making this video. When I started scuba diving in 2016 I picked Pink as my color. Not knowing how visible it was underwater or on the surface. It just happens to be one of my favorite colors. But divers & my buddies commented that they could easily pick me out from the underwater crowd. My local dive shop teased me for getting everything I could in pink. Now the joke is on them because it’s one of the best colors to have. 😃

Nice presentation, I just have one comment to make. The darker green is often used in oxyclean regulators and can therefore be mistaken, that's one point to look out for

Great topic.
In 51 years, as a recreational diver, I have purchased yellow/black equipment as a personal choice on a few occasions includng the most recent equipment replacement a few years ago. The yum yum yellow issue was always mentioned. I assumed it was because the contrast of colour stood out making me more of a POI. I have different coloured equipment (black) if I think I will be among more aggresive fauna. It allows me to try my different fins & masks at the same time. Usually diving with others, I am not nervous about colour. For many, fashion plays a part as opposed to thosejust looking to increase their personal safety. Good article.

How do the brighter colors attract predatory fish since many fish eyes are excellent seeing color? Especially the brighter colors mentioned. Thanks

Thanks. I enjoy the videos. Can you do a video for pre diving preparations for our dive camera as well as after dive care?
I've been out of the water for too long and can not remember how to make sure my camera housing is ready.
Thank you

After watching this review i started the logical step in trying to find a pair of Neon green tech fins as an alternative to my yellow Aqualung storm fins. Unfortunately I can't seem that find any...🤔

My logic here is that for non tech diving i will use yellow as my accest colour and neon green for tech diving. But my plans seem scarpered at first attempt.

I love White! I find it stands out really well no matter the conditions... Except super bright dives, but even then

male diver with flouro pink fins - they glow quite spectacularly even at 100-110 feet / 30-40m

Great video in a world full of options

That's why I love BLUE.

As a bearded male dive master: PINK... students can find me quickly!

My favorite color for fins is white. At normal dive distances they are easily recognizable so my dive buddy can easily locate me. And best of all, a short video of my fins gives me a white sample to color correct my video in editing software.

Fluorescent pink is better like fluorescent yelow?

Thanks for this as ive been curious about it as often times i want to stand out and be seen. I wish manufacturers gave us more color choices.

I wish i didnt despise yellow or orange as much as i do. I dont even want yellow for my octo.
My mares quatrro+ are in neon green. Sadly apeks doesn't make the rk3 in green so i went pink. This video confirms my choice. If i need to get the rk3hd ill be torn on color as i dont want the orange.
