Diver tag (DAN Tag equivalent)?

[pdhenry]

When I was doing my OW dives in Florida I noticed that my instructor was wearing a tag on his BCD that had his name, DAN ID number and the toll-free DAN assistance number printed on it. I thought this was a great idea and determined to obtain one through the DAN website. A little more research and I've learned that DAN no longer has a contract with the company making the tags and apparently there were delivery problems toward the end.

So does anyone have a link to a source for a similar tag? Apparently it's not possible to get a DAN-licensed one currently.

A number of dive buddies I know will go to an army surplus store and get dog tags made for this purpose. In addition they get any allergies and health alerts printed on them as well as ICE contact information. IIRC you can print up to 5 lines of text on them. Cost is rather cheap too....less than 20 bucks for a set of 2 depending on the shop.

Try Dive-Logs.com - Scuba dive log refill packs, logbooks, log book stamps, and accessories you can design your own tags. I have several, it was easy to order and the price was reasonable.

Several of us just use a permanent marked on the back of our wrist slates with name, blood type, NOK, phone #, allergies, medications, medical complications (HTN for hypertension), etc.

Google "dog tags". You can get two tags with the same or different text for about $8.00. That's what's on our BCs and Pelican boxes.

Pick your poison. They have multiple shapes and colors of Aluminum tags that you can laser custom etch or stamp.
I personally have a laminated paper sheet with Permanent info printed on it and changing info written on in sharpie.
Name, DOB, Allergy, Blood Type, Emergency Contact, DAN #, Medical #, etc etc.

I keep that in my dive bag on the boat.

I'll second dog tags. My bc's have them stuck to them and there's one in each of my suit pockets as well.

I still received one after renewing my insurance this year with DAN Asia Pacific. The info(toll free numbers) probably means nothing to you in USA.
