Example of the Magtape/gaffer tape.
As others have mentioned painters tape comes off to easy and rips to easy, especially if you carrying 3-4 tanks and they are rubbing on each other. Maybe good for 1 dive but for B/O's that you can use for months with the same label I like Magtape/gaffer tape.
After the magtape/gaffer tape variants next best thing is "vinyl tape" basically like 2" wide electrical tape. Only issue is you need scissors to cut it and I find it tends to "chip" see photo example below. But it nice and smooth to write on, stretchy, waterproof, and sticky but does not leave residue on the tank.

Wear on the bail out is what got me to change from the glossy white duct tape to Gaff tape. Sharpie would wear off the duct tape in a couple of dives. Gaff tape was still good years later. And when time to come off, it comes off so much cleaner.
Le Mark MAGTAPE® XTRA Matt I got this one in white. It works very well, thank you for this recommendation.
But the reel is very large, it does not fit into my analyser box. I found no smaller version of exactly this tape. Do you know a similar tape on much smaller reel? Might sound strange but a small analyser box including tape is important to me for travelling.
