The skull and crossbones is symbolic of one of two things, either poison
or piracy.  The gasses we're using are not poisonous when used correctly.
And techdivers around here get enough grief with the press calling us
pirates without having to go around flaunting it.

With so much international travel, you're probably right about using a
symbol rather than words.  How about a label with a graphic of a left
hand with the second finger raised in the Techdiver "Are You OK?" sign? 
That should suffice to put off the casual diver, and to identify
ourselves to each other.
