Represents the 3 primary colours in photography
Represents the 3 main colours lost underwater in order of depth

Represents the dive flag
Represents the kind of dive flag only used in the US of A perhaps?....The rest of the world tends to refer to the International Code of Signals for diving operations and that is an Alpha flag, indicating 'I have a diver down'.

Could be a boy scout merit badge or maybe a new certification patch coming from PADI to get more dough.

Add some 35mm film perforations around the borders of whatever dive flag you prefer, then maybe you've got something.

Why does anyone need a flag for?
For initial representation without the use of words, I don't personally, it just came to me!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag
It doesn't have to be used just as a flag, it could be used as an international symbol for our hobby, so if it is seen in a shop window for example, one would know if they have found the right shop or not! Or even at a dive show perhaps

The international symbol for our hobby should be large stacks of money being flushed down a saltwater marine head. 
If all else fails, get a bigger hammer...

It's the representation that everyone recognizes; of course almost no one is shooting film anymore, but then, my cell phone uses a picture of an old handset to represent making a call. Not because anyone actually uses that kind of handset anymore, just because it's the most recognizable symbol. And ironically, pixels are tough to represent graphically
Although the flushing image is awfully tempting...
