If you can't eat it or play with it,
Just pee on it and walk away.

So so so so many divers laugh at me when they find out I have it. I think I paid $7 or $8 for that tube of dye and I will pleased if I never need it.

I wouldn't laugh at you. Where did you get it?I have a tube of dye tucked into the pocket of my 'safety sausage' inflatable surface marker (along with a chemical light).

I see lots of people that carry die markers and chem lights. I am a believer in safety gear..... I personally carry a wreck reel with a heavy line an a 100 or 200lb lift bag....almost always. The closer you stay to your original position the better off..... If lost on a wreck, pop a bag and tie off to the wreck...do your hang under the bag. if diving a ledge or reef tie off to the ledge. If there is nothing to tie to, pop a bag and do your hang...then attach your weight belt to your reel and drop that...

Both OMS and OxyCheq have tubes of marine marker dye for divers. You should be able to get them through any dive shop carrying those lines.
I keep my dye tube (from OxyCheq) in the pouch on my DAN surface signal marker, along with a marker light, signal mirror, and space blanket (which you can cut into ribbons and tie them together for another highly-visible and radar-reflective streamer, as well as use for shelter from the sun during the day).

Where you get everything else... ScubaToys, of course...I 2nd that question. Where can I get a dye tube??
But if you are going to do it right, go big or go home... Try this on for size. It has dye and so much more... You may need a bigger cargo pocket to carry it though.

Its only 5+1/2 inches long so it fits in the mesh pocket quite well.
It's shorter than a chemical light and a bit thicker. (thats what she said)
