Polykem is what we use on umbilicals, it sticks to itself when applied underwater.

If it's going to be applied above water then taken underwater Plain old duct tape works fine.

I have colorcodes our SPG hoses with a 2 inch spiral wrap of Scotch 33 electrical tape and it's hanging tough at 200 dives. It did become a little translucent but it's still red and blue for hers and his.

I would assume that it , (Polykem), can have even a better bond if applied in air?

I work with USN Divers. White Polyken is used on everything, wet and dry. It has good stickiness yet doesn't leave residue when removed. You can write on it in and out of the water.

Polyken makes a lot of different tapes including duct, gaffer, sealing, etc. A product number would be helpful. e.g. 827 or 512 or ...

That's the key question.
The OP is unlikley to answer since he hasn't been on ScubaBoard in 8 years. But it's a valid question for the rest of us.
