Info Cheap source for Fluorescein Dye Vial

[Mr. Sunday]

I'm headed to Cozumel and then Komodo for some drift diving and wanted to add a few safety items to my tech short pockets.

Adding a signal mirror, Hyper Whistle & a Fluorescein Dye pack.

Found a source for the Fluorescein Dye online for $8.00. With shipping it came out to under $12.00

Vacuum sealed the vial for extra precaution so no worries about it opening at an inopportune time.

It's small and cheap enough I plan to add a second.

I thought I would share it in case anybody is interested.

Cheers

Neat find. Is this more or less dye than is typical in an emergency signal device?

Same chemical that’s marketed for divers but cheaper. This is 10 grams for $11.97 or 20 grams for $19.97 shipped.

DGX sells a 20gr vial for $29.00 plus $7.10 in shipping. $36.10 shipped.

Did you add a reel to your SMB for depth deployment also? I haven't seen that dye before, nice find.

Added a reel many years ago.
