Let's face it, scuba is a sport that can be dangerous. I participate in other sports that can be dangerous like cycling and running. While doing these, I am wearing a RoadID and wondered if there was anything similar that scuba divers wear.
Since most types of RoadID's are wrist or ankle mounted, they would either be under the wetsuit or have to be put on and taken off each time you suited up, and would make it easy to forget.
For those who aren't familiar with RoadID's, this is what mine looks like. I wear it every time I'm cycling or running, just in case I get hurt and lose consciousness. I'm seldom carrying a wallet or other form of ID, so this provides first responders with my name, age, hometown, emergency contacts, and allergy info.
While doing my Open Water dives, it occurred to me that I'm not carrying any ID. Other than my dive buddy, who might not always know my medical history, let alone my parents nor my last name, I'd like to cary something in a fairly conspicuous place. Does anyone know anything of the sort? Any BCD mounted ID tags?
