DB>How about the "oxygen - Maximum Operating Depth 6 meters"?

DB>Where the "6" is a 80 centimeter high figure and the rest is about 6
centimeters.

JB> This is just overcomplicating a very simple system. KISS. The number
*is* the MOD, you don't need to state it.  The text "OXYGEN" is present on a
20' bottle to differentiate it  from a 120' bottle, where the "1" might be
obscured.

Upon further review (by the replay official), I agree.

DB>...and of course, a tech dive trip is either metric or imperial, with no
mixing of the systems on the same boat.

JB> Actually, there is no overlap of markings between metric & imperial, so
there won't be any confusion anyway. Therefore, the units are also not
necessary.

JB> Um, always assuming you are applying rule #1, of course.

In some areas, strict application of rule #1 means you'll be doing very
little diving.
