This is for everyone with weight pockets specificly, but also for anyone who owns a weight belt or a BCD, even your wetsuit, fins, and mask.
Go to your LDS and buy a water-proof paint marker and write your name on your pouches, your belt, your BCD, while you are at it write you name on every piece of gear that you own. And by 'name' I mean your entire name not just your initals. Colored rubberbands around the handles of your pouches is not enough. You are not the first person to come up with the color coded rubberband idea, and I assure you that someone else on the boat has the same pouches and colored rubberbands as you.
Custom made gear does not mean that it won't look remotely like anyone elses. I assure you that some genus with a $150 eBay special will think their first stage and your Titanium first stage are the same, and WILL attempt to take yours home.
There is nothing more disrupting on a dive boat than two vacationing adults, paying thousands of dollars for a week in Hawaii, and arguing over the ownership of a $10 weight pouch; unless of course one if them gets so upset that they throw-up all over the other. :l: :losecool:
I hated having to clean the boat after that episode, but you can bet that I will laughing about that stupid human trick for years to come. Right after I finish writing my name on all of my gear.
