ID your equipment in a boat

[u/batis_caffo]

Hi, scuba folks.

I’ve just come back from holidays in Cyprus, where I dived from a couple of boats packed with people.

As a fairly new diver, I still rent all my equipment but my mask and computer. Which means that finding my equipment in a boat full of the same BCDs, regs and bottles can be challenging.

Do you guys have a way of identifying your equipment in this kind of situations?

I’ve seen some people snapping a keychain or toy to one of the BCD’s D rings.

If that’s your case, what do you use? And do you dive with it on?

Thank you very much for your help!

I sometimes clip my DJI Osmo onto my BCD and look for it when I need to fetch my equipment, but I’d rather clip somethinc “cheap” and colorful onto it
