Equipment Marking

[Pongo1998]

Where and how do you mark all of your equipment so you can identify it? I am going on vacation and would like to know what you use to tell your equipment from everyone else's if it were to get mixed up.

I got some paint markers from Leisure Pro...they work well and the paint stays on underwater.

Mine is usually the only BP/W and reg with a long hose so I can easily spot my gear that way, if that fails I'll just look for the Apeks first stage and HOG second

In all seriousness though, paint pens works great along with sharpies...

Permanent paint marker. Course I'm like Lewis. I doubt anyone else wil be diving the same set up and I also would not allow anyone but me or my buddy to handle my gear, put it away, rinse, or store it out of my sight.

I, very carefully, using a small tipped soldering iron burn 3 small dots in the shape of a triangle on all my gear. Not necessarily visible to others but I know where they are. On equipment with no plastic e.g. my plates I use a hole punch and put the same 3 dots.

And as another poster/s have also said so far when traveling I have always been the only person on a boat with a BP/W set up and bungeed red.
