Sounds like someone needs a rebreather to alleviate the problem. :-)

I mentioned earlier that when diving solo I leave my dive plan on my dash board. In case you're interested, here's what one of the forms looks like when it's filled out & on the clipboard. I X-ed out some of my personal information.

Bill, very good advice and even if someone is not solo diving, having the medical information such as current meds. to include dose, blood type etc is very valuable information. Without the information we are doing our best guess in the ER. Most divers should include the information on the back of their slate if they carry one.

Nah, they make it worse. I use Poseidons, and the bubbles come right up by a mask mounted light.

I wear a necklace similar to dog tags with medical and contact info. My daughter is a runner and wears something similar on a bracelet. At the very least it provides positive id.

Except there are people that wear their father's or brother's or friend's dog tags.

And some of us wear KIA bracelets, so the bracelet thing is out of the running too. I though about just writing it on the can of my rebreather, along with "do not resuscitate" or "if you're close enough to read this, I am probably dead, so leave me be" or something of the sort in big bold letters. I used to put my rebreather checklist on my can, so if I died, they could prove I at least did the checklist. Except the cave started removing the checklist, bit by bit.

Suggestions of what to put on my rebreather are welcome!

If found, return to depth.
