What types of things are written on a line cookie?

[aquanex]

I apologize for the off-the-wall question but I am interested in knowing if there are certain things that you always write on your Line Cookies? Are there items that it would be nice to have engraved into the cookie itself? Initials, cookie #, ? I searched in Google images and could only find examples of people writing their initials on them.

This is a sample I made up:



The purpose for the question is that we make all kinds of personalized scuba name tags, BC tags, wetsuit tags and we are wondering if there would be a demand/need/want for personalized line cookies? I learned about line cookies and arrows at DEMA this year - not a cave diver (as you can tell from the question).

All Mine just have my name written on them. I've seen custom ones a few times, not sure who makes them.

I just want to make sure i can tell if it is mine. My name or initials are on them in very clear letters.

Usually nothing other than name.

When Ginnie had a blow up doll at the Heinkle however, all sorts of funny things were written on a slate and arrows/cookies near there.

I agree.
If I am using a nondirectional marker as survey station then I may have an alphanumeric coding to correspond to the station.

Just my name with a sharpie, but if I could get my name printed on a small batch for a tiny surcharge I might consider doing it... I think it would look pretty cool actually.

initials, nicknames, full name, etc. I have my initials on mine. Some will notch them, but that is personal preference. Engraving is tough because cookies tend to get scratched real easily, so you'd have to make cutouts for initials or pretty deep engraving with sharpie in the groove so you could see it.

The NDM's can be used for a boat load of things, so most people will permanently put their initials on them, and then just use pencil to mark anything else that doesn't need to be permanent.

I put my name on them. Have a larger one that has my name and "do not remove" on it.

They can also be used for wrecks and if you have people who don't know what they are see them on a line going into an opening, they may see that as "Oh look! A souvenir!" unless the do not remove is on there.

Have also used them on initial tie offs for the reel when running a nav course so that other divers don't get it into their heads to untie the line while we are out on the course.
