For consideration when diving with a new buddy

[Helen F H]

<font color='#000080'>I got the tags from the site that was posted. &nbsp;They should be here on monday. &nbsp;

Hows about doing a YD diver help card for definate. &nbsp;
We need proper laminating, not just the self seal cards - my canoe club had those and they leak after a couple of weeks. &nbsp;I can probably do the laminating bit (if i use my womanly charms) at our local printers for a cheap price, if dlegros could email me the blank cards (and makes it easy for me to bung the details on too). &nbsp;Im willing to do my bit and help organise/run around like a blue arsed fly for this.

If we charge maybe a tenner for them and the profits go to YD?

Any thoughts?

Sian and I have ordered a set of tags too - plus an extra tag each just with our diver information in it - and the emergency RN Medical number, to go on our car key rings - just in case....

If you are thining of laminating cards to take diving with you - this may be a problem. &nbsp;We had A5 copies of Stoney double laminated to take down attached to our slates - and they didn't last 3 metres!

Guess you could put them inside waterproof cases etc - but dont think laminating would be enough

Porg,

Can you bung me down for one please...?

Cheers,

Why not just make the 'cards' out of plastic?

<font color='#000080'>Right, have emailed them for a sample pack, plus costs of doing plastic cards. &nbsp;Watch this space.

I see were your comming may be a cylinder sticker is a better idea?
You whould have to be pretty clumsy to loose your tank
I did think of neckless type idea but, in practice think a permanant part of the kit is better as you cant forget to take it on every dive.

On a different note, can you get none emergency YD logo stickers for your cylinder at the mo? If not any plans to?

Try a different laminator!

My map of Stoney had been geting wet there for nearly a year and still going strong.

<font color='#0000FF'>Laminating does work, I have a map of capenwray which often went with me.

However I placed an order yeaterday for a set of those dogtags someone added a link to. &nbsp;Have given this some thought for a long time as I often travel to and from dive trips alone and no one would know who to contact in an emergency my dad has worried about this for sometime aswell. &nbsp;There isn't much room on them so I have added just the essentials.

Now when I travel home I will pop them around my neck and someone might check them out.

I've ordered a tag with essential diver info' too. To my surprise, they confirmed my order for shipment to Sweden without mentioning postage. It'll be interesting to see if they add anything for that. Anyway, it's a great idea and I've passed it on to a number of diver friends.
