Subject: Re: DIR Tank Marking for EAN Tanks...?

Sean-

What I've seen lately are stickers which simply state "Warning: These 
tanks may contain a mixture other than air!" which seems to be a good 
catchall. If you are using one tank, there's not much chance of confusion 
if you check your mix before you dive.

For others on the boat I propose a SS Death's head logo with "Achtung! 
Vergiften Luft!" written beneath it on both sides of the tank. Even if 
you don't read german I think that the general idea will be passed to 
people of all nationalities. You could even improve on this by painting 3 
or 4 little scuba divers with a red "X" through them.

;)
