Probably because stickers are really a poor way of marking your gear... More form than function really (Porma?) because unless they are of high quality how many dives will they last? Also if someone really wants to permanently "borrow" your gear all they do is take your sticker off and put theirs in place

Silver Sharpie does the job.... and you can't peel them off
Ninja edit: BTW how long do they last?

that's why they print stickers in hundreds so in case it gets peeled off, just stick another one! Sticks pretty long than what you think. Useful in Rinse tubs so it wont get lost with others.
The trick there is stick it in hidden areas, it doesn't have to be on the exterior visible to everybody. Unless you want to introduce yourself to another diver.

these stickers we're ordering are printed on 3M paper - they're amazingly adhesive, a bit reflective (the silver ones), a tad elastic, are waterproof, fade resistant and actually last a very long time despite continued submersionsBen_ca:Silver Sharpie does the job.... and you can't peel them off
Ninja edit: BTW how long do they last?
in fact, they're not easy for a casual thief to take off either, they stick very well... it takes a conscious effort to peel them off (unless it's already coming off and the owner is too cheap to stick a new one on hehehehe)
again: good stuff these stickies

You're right ben, a silver sharpie is just as effective. But the stickers are worth it relative to their cost. The pics are deceiving, these stickers last a long time, look professional, and are very durable. The stickers on my bp parts still look brand new after 80+ dives. It's not only for gear - many dive ops in the PI have a wall where divers can leave their mark by putting up one of their stickers. I also put it on my USB disk and laptop. Not only porma in the water!
The only problem I have with them is not how long they last, but that I couldn't find a proper place to put them on my fins - too many scratch marks and too folded up for it to adhese properly on (I hate my crappy fins).
And in Aquaventure, you'll see the stickers of a couple of pinoy celebs. But not Maui Taylor - some jacka55 put their sticker on top of her's....
