But seriously. What's wrong with tape and a Sharpie for marking tank contents?

That picture reminds me of

In all seriousness, I wonder how these work:

Personally I hate blue masking tape as it bakes on and leaves a residue after sitting in the sun for a week between dives. Duct tape is even worse. The residue makes a mess. I found this outdoor painters tape a few years ago. It works great, peels with zero residue and is waterproof.

I'll check this out. Blue masking tape doesn't hold up very well after a while (which makes sense). This looks to be more rugged.

vinyl stickers from home depot if you want to get fancy. MOD and initials.

I've used mailbox stickers in the past. They hold up well.

We tried those.

They are currently floating somewhere off the Sea of Japan . . .

They work great. It's solid plastic. UV is about the only thing that will kill them and even that takes a while.

I was going through my books recently and found a kids book that I'd labeled with my name almost 50 years ago.

yellow duct tape and a sharpie used here for nitrox contents, etc... might try that painters tape.

I yank the mod tape off after the dive to differentiate the full vs empty tanks. I haven't had residue issues like you get with duct tape.

I typically take a sharpie and write Tracy on stuff.
