I discovered an interesting Scuba-related site a couple of days ago, and thought I’d share it with everyone…

The site is called Dive-logs.com, and, as the name suggests, they specialise in Dive Log refills, but for me, far more interesting is another product, called Scuba Tags.

These are made from high-strength, UV-resistant acrylic, measuring 6.5cm x 4cm, and can be custom engraved with your details. They come with a stainless steel split ring for attaching to equipment.

The obvious use for these tags is to identify your equipment, however one of their customers has suggested an excellent safety use: Give a tag to the boat skipper when you get in the water, and say you’ll collect it when you get back on the boat. The skipper then knows that if he has your tag, you’re still in the water, and there’s therefore less chance of getting left behind (anyone seen the Open Water movie?)

I’ve signed GLUG up for their affiliate program, which means that if you click through to their website from here, GLUG will get 10% commission from your first order. This will help the club to keep its membership fees down.

Of course, with a name like Dive-logs.com, their main business, as you might guess, is producing Dive Log refills. They have several varieties - not just the standard format, but also designs especially for Nitrox Divers, for Underwater Naturalists, Photographers, etc. If none of their predefined varieties is exactly what you want, you can even design your own format.

They also produce Personalised log book stamps, and various other bits and pieces.
