Tip: Add your DAN number to the Custom Text...

Post by cheeseandjamsandwich »

For ages I've been after the Divers Alert Network (DAN) dog-tags that i seem to remember seeing somewhere... They had your DAN insurance number on it and could be clipped to your BCD/Harness.

But we have the custom text that displays on the surface screen of our OSTC :-)
Luckily the line just fits my name & Number e.g.
[pre]
Joe Bloggs DAN:123456
[/pre]

Plus, a dive computer is normally (should be) kept with the diver in the event of an accident for profile info, whereas their gear may get dumped & lost during the rescue or left at the scene/on the boat.

A small reminder for customizing:
Custom text can contain up to 22 characters on OSTC 2C,and 23 characters on Mk2 and 2N.
I guess this is due to new display in 2C.

If you exceed the character count,nothing is shown.
