How about custom Scuba Hides?
#1
Posted 24 March 2005 - 11:28 PM
I've also included some information on what a 'scuba hide' is along with pictures explaining the concept!
Let me know what you think...we need to decide if we are going to sell them on the site and if so which logo design to use. (I'll need a minimum number of people interested in them as the custom order is fairly steep.)
Thanks -ww

We designed ScubaHides to be a fun, easy way for divers to personalize their gear and increase individual visual identification underwater.
The graphics are printed on a 10 mill. thick piece of polyethelyne which is placed on the tank without any adhesive. Then a 5mill. thick shrink-wrap sleeve is slid over the tank and heat shrunk with a normal hairdryer. Because the graphics are printed on the inside of the label, nothing will rub off. No adhesive is used whatsoever, and they do not cover up either the hydro stamp, or visual inspection sticker.
Once you receive your ScubaHide, they are easy to apply yourself. Simply place the graphics on the tank, slip the clear heat wrap over it, and apply heat with a normal hair dryer to shrink-wrap it tightly to the body of the tank. Here's how it works:
1. If trimming is necessary, lay the skin flat and cut it from the bottom.
2. Cut the heat wrap separately, leaving it larger than the graphics sheet.
3. Place the graphics sheet on your clean, dry tank so that your VIP sticker is visible.
4. Slide the heat wrap over the tank.
5. Apply heat evenly over a large area of the skin. For best results, wave the hair dryer slowly up and down over the skin.
6. Submerge the tank in water for several minutes When dry, the ScubaHide will be permanently affixed to the tank.
7. TO REMOVE: Score the skin with a sharp knife or razor blade. PLEASE RECYCLE.
8. Under normal use, the skins stay on the tanks, in and out of the water, for about 8-12 months, or until the annual visual inspection is due.
PLEASE NOTE that ScubaHides are a decorative tank treatment, and do not provide protection to the tank. Taking care to avoid contact with sharp objects will greatly prolong the life of your ScubaHide. Use of a protective plastic mesh will also prolong the life of your ScubaHide and does not lessen the visual impact of their design.
Here are some FAQ's about ScubaHides:
1. ScubaHides are sold UN-shrunk; you shrink them yourself with a normal hair dryer.
2. Once they are on, they won't come off until you cut them off.
3. Does not harm or alter your tank in any way.
4. ScubaHides are printed with clear windows to allow inspection stickers to show through, and are designed so they do not cover the hydro-testing stamp.
5. Does not alter buoyancy.
6. Covers all dings, scratches and blemishes on tanks.
7. Fits any tank 24 inches or less in circumference.
8. Printed on the inside to prevent scratching.
9. Does not promote the rusting or pitting of tanks.

Hey Jim send me info on ISC stuff...I saw several of these at the show and they had held up very well under lots of diving. Now we all know thats NOT the tropics!
However they aren't hugely expensive either...about $20 each.

In any case I vote for #1 and want 3 when they arrive.
Anodized aluminum is nice, painted is border line, bare aluminum is a bomb with time.

I got orders for 3 so far...maybe 2 more if Alikat wants an indestructibe coating on hers and now I only need orders for a total of 40-50 in order to pay all the custom work and upfront costs.
5 down...(maybe) and 35-40 more to go!
