I thought about doing the same thing with my hoses and regs and glad to see it confirmed as a sound option to help increase safety when grabbing the wrong gas can kill you at depth.

The color coding is not just good for you, but you can also tell at a distance if someone else is using the wrong gas for the depth. It is particularly important in the case of an individual that is distracted or suffering from narcosis.

What happens when you need to swap stage regs last minute? This entire system falls apart.

@@flymol0 I do not have any statistics on that. On the other hand many people have improperly or failed to analyze or label tanks. And some others have just put the wrong regulator in their mouth, which these additional measure are intended to help reduce. The color coding and labeling also assists in putting the correct regulator and hose on the correct tank. Green o2 label on the tank, green regulator. In addition some o2 dedicated regulators are only available in green coloring.

Hi Chris, what kind of labels did you used? Awesome video🎉

[@divezonescuba]

The top gas computer switching labels were from Amazon. The bottom ones were from a brother label printer. It connects via Bluetooth to any device. You could just print all the labels on the brother printer.
