Anyone wear ICE bracelets?

[ZenDiver.3D]

You know, I have all of my info in my wallet. It is almost always in the car or at the shop in my desk. I never take it on a vacation dive boat either. Kinda stupid, huh? I mean, my DAN number is on a sticker on my waterproof Ipod casing. I Always have that. But not who I am or emergency numbers. Hmmmm. Okay, growing up time. I like the ICE ID. That is very cool. Good to have as much as I travel around the world to fairly dodgy areas...

Personally, I have no one to contact except an old orange cat named Leo and he couldn't care less as long as I give him a portion of deer meat once or twice a day. That's all he'd miss.

Well then you should have one telling someone to feed your cat!

If you've got nobody to contact, then you could always list a neighbor as the emergency contact, depending on how well you know him/her

I bought one of the thin waterproof cases before we went for our cert dives. Inside, I placed a photocopy of my Passport, along with copies of my emergency contact information and health insurance cards. This case has a cord that allows it to be worn around the neck, and in thin enough that it's not uncomfortable under the lycra skin or BC. I figured with it, I'd have enough information on me in case of an emergency for medical personnel to know who I am, who to inform I've had some kind of accident, and who to contact for treatment payment authorization.

What for?

Hospital: May I speak to Sarah Brightly please?

Sarah Brightly: Yeah, this is her. What do you want?

Hospital: Do you know Bob Farley?

Sarah Brightly: Yeah, so?

Hospital: Well, he was involved in a diving accident today. He's at XYZ Hospital.

Sarah Brightly: Yeah, so?

Hospital: He wanted you to know.

Sarah Brightly: I'm not paying his bill. You can't hold me responsible!!

Hospital: No, that's not why we're calling. He just wanted you to know.

Sarah Brightly: I knew that little freak was sweet on me.

Hospital: If you'd like to visit him, he is in the ICU?

Sarah Brightly: I'll get right on that. Anything else?

Hospital: Uh...no. Thank you. Goodbye.

Sarah Brightly: Yeah - see ya.

ND, I'm thinking it may be fun to share a scotch with you one day...

Well, it's still better than being put 6' under without anybody in the world knowing and having your cat starve to death because nobody knew. Besides, if your neighbor is really that bad than why not use the neighbor on the other side or you could be content, not have any ID and be stuck under a gravestone marked "John Doe #683" or "Name unknown, nobody gives a crap anyways"

Why?

and having your cat starve to death

cats suck anyway.

you could be content, not have any ID and be stuck under a gravestone marked "John Doe #683" or "Name unknown, nobody gives a crap anyways"

Why even go through that effort? Just attach some weights, let me sink, feed the fishes, and become an interesting dive site.

OP, thanks for the link. I like that idea. Nice and soft so it can be used under my drysuit and not hurt the latex seals.
