Mandatory stickers

[mksmith713]

My tanks have only one sticker showing it was viz'd and O2 cleaned.
Other than that, I use a piece of tape near the neck and label it with a sharpie as to the contents.
The shops fill my tanks according to what I have on that piece of tape.
There's not a single shop in So Fla that doesn't honor that single sticker.

Now you can get smaller warning stickers from www.airspeadpress.com that state things like "this tank may contain mixtures other than air" or my favorite is "This is not your tank" may contain.....

This should point to: Airspeed Press Homepage - Books For Serious Divers

It warns someone other than you that the tank may contain something other than air. More important, there are fill stations that don't have O2 compatible air and the band tells them to NOT fill your tank. They may not notice the O2 Clean part of the VIP sticker.

A shop without O2 compatible air may have you remove the Nitrox label before they fill your tank. I don't know what they do when the VIP and O2 Clean are all part of the same sticker. Good reason to keep them separate, I suppose. That way you can remove the O2 Clean sticker and leave the VIP.

Sometimes even incompatible air is better than not diving.

As a point of clarification, filling with premix nitrox requires no oxygen cleaning of the cylinder at all. Having the bumper sticker does not imply an O2 cleaned cylinder.


All the best, James

As was pointed out, having a yellow and green nitrox sticker to fill your tank depends on the shop/ and where you are .. I think out here it's the norm more often than not and it's banked nitrox so no partial pressure blending

I do like these though ... Airspeed Press Tank stickers
