DUI "overlays"

[Terry]

                        I dove with Susan Long out in the Channel Islands of Calif.  on a liveaboard called the "Peace" years back when her father Dick, was still at the helm of DUI. She wore my (all black) Nokia drysuit in the group photo (of ALL DUI suits) just to pimp her father into getting her a new DUI. I like the addition of ANY color into a drysuit, my first drysuit was bright yellow and black, looked like a bumbullbee,  ( so I did take some flack, like a guy wearing a pink speedo) but could be seen at ther surface from 80' in Superior on a cloudy day. I want to ask DUI, and especially Susan, if your now adding unique colors, why to only 1/3 of the suit, why not make the ENTIRE suit, flames or pink, or camo, or white or carib fish colored? The benefits being,,, able to more easily find your buddy, DM, instructor, or whoever might be of interest to you, amongst the divers proweling the LIMITED VIS. (compared to the Carib. where you dont need a drysuit) ,,,,darkness, cold, fog, waves, depth, or finding divers on the surface in those same conditions. I miss my Henderson in that everyone knew where I was. I ask the dive industry WHY are most all (or the majority of) wetsuits , BCs,  drysuits black?,,,,,,, Cost, well, DAAAAA! are you giving them away? ADD some color and help improve the saftey of diving! This has been a problem for the 29 years I've been certified, will it ever get corrected? It feels like the beginning of the auto industry, where you can have, "any color you like, as long as its black"!
