We mark ours every ten feet with black electrical tape. Every fifty with red and every hundred with white. So one hundred and fifty feet of line would go white, red, 5 black stripes. Electrical tape works for about 3-5 years before drying and flaking off, but is the best way to go so far. Even in blackwater diving, 5 feet works fine.

All PSD diving is assumed to be Blackwater.
The marks are for your tender on the surface. Three foot increments will generate a boatload of odd numbers...

We go every 2 1/2 ft. Narrow wraps with wider raps, 1then 2 as length increases so you know in bad light and don't need to read numbers on the rope. Use rescue tape which locks onto its self..
