Labelling you’re gear
Hi everyone, Has anyone got any good advice on what to use? I am just getting back into diving after a few years away from it. In the old days I dived with friends and all out gear was different so I didn’t label anything. Now my friend has all the same gear (we are the same size too) and I intend on doing more boat dives. People say label you stuff but we have both had trouble finding a good and easy way to label all the gear you end up with that will last.

Hi Jason, well, dont now if you can buy this product in Australia, but in Denmark you can buy this pen that you can write on your gear with , it can easily take on the corrosive behauvior of seawater, im sorry but i dont recall the name of the pen, but ask you local diveshop, they probably know where to find it! ;) Take care, Morten, Denmark!
Organised diving, is safe diving!

I just used liquid paper to label my BCD, booties, inside the neckband of my wetsuit and the back of my SPG. It works quite well, I only have to re-do it once every three months (I have been diving 5 days per week). I marked the underside of my yellow fins with a black permanent marker. Same deal...just re-write it every few months. I use an unusual lilac-coloured mask tamer advertising an out-of-business dive shop to keep my mask unique. All, simple, cheap and effective!
Cheers!

I painted my fins a bit with silver paint texter and went over engraved gear with silver. I used a $10 dremmel kit to drill/engrave my name on my gear. Sadly the fins I could only paint. People like my fins.
