Hypothetical Situation, created to see the general consensus.
You take a day trip on a charter boat, you bring all your own gear, including 2 tanks that you had filled with Nitrox a few weeks ago.
The dive is a wall dive in the Bahamas, with depths ranging from surface to +600ft
The crew loads all the gear up, and somehow in the process, manages to damage or lose the tank marking tape on the tanks.
Prior to your dive, you notice this, and reach into the gear box to re-mark the tanks, after checking it with your O2 gauge. You find that you have left the oxycheq at home. You ask around, and no-one else has one on the boat.
Do you;
A: Re-mark the tank with what you thought the percentage was and continue with the dive.
B: Remark the tank with 40% (the highest percentage you could possibly of had in it) and continue the dive with a 40% profile.
C: Sit up front with the skipper and swap fishing tales for the rest of the day, basking in the warm sun, and cursing yourself for your negligence.
