Subject: Labeling
Labeling is an interesting subject. Did I mention that the double I saw
everywhere on my 30' wreck dive were all nitrox labeled? Which means either
they didn't really have nitrox in them (shame!) or that they were using
nitrox for a 30" dive (idiots!).

Anyway, I think specific labels (like NITROX or TRIMIX are insane for
reasons which have been pointed out here, unless one very well endowed with
tanks (as we'll all have to be if SP gets their idiotic dedicated valve
accepted). SOmeone suggested on a thread a while back on techdiver simply
"May Contain Mixed Gas" which made sense to me. Here's my suggested
version:

THIS IS NOT YOUR TANK!!!
MAY CONTAIN MIXED DIVE GASES
Always tag with current mix when filled
Remove old tags after use
Analyze before using.
IMPROPER USE OF THE GAS IN THIS TANK MAY RESULT IN YOUR DEATH

OK it's wordy, but it covers all the bases.

P.S., didn't mean to libel Genesises, or their owners. It's just they've
had reliability probs, have less desirable boyancy characteristics and -
most serious of all - you can't cheat and overfill them because they
already are.

PPS , Has anyone else got that swarmy "welcome to techdiver" spam from some
idiot trying to sell something?
