| 1) |
As effective and secure as the proven use of directional markers (line arrows), will not come off the line unintentionally. |
| 2) |
The application method remains consistent with the line arrow. |
| 3) |
Individual shape characteristics identify a unique personal identification by both sight and touch. |
| 4) |
The "paddle" provides an unmistakable directional reference. |
| 5) |
Does not affect permanent markers / line arrows signals while still providing an interpretable directional requirement for the user. |
| 6) |
Other divers who encounter a REM can also interpret the using diver(s) signal without affecting their own directional requirements or the permanent line set ups that might also be present at the same location. |
| 7) |
The two sided "paddle" provides space for personal identification and a "mini slate" for multi purpose inscription with any pencil, even while under water during a dive (e.g. "CIRCUIT TURN POINT", "DISTANCE FROM EXIT 1,500' / 700psi", "DANGER BROKEN LINE AHEAD!", "LOST DIVER", "I HAVE EXITED CAVE / TIME 27 MIN.", "SURVEY IN PROGRESS", "DATA COLLECTION STATION", "STAGE DROP", "WRECK PENETRATION POINT" etc.) |
| 8) |
Easy to store and access, sized and matches to amass perfectly along with line arrows. |
| 9) |
Can not be accidentally removed as with "cloths pins" or "cookies". |
| 10) |
Unmistakable yet color is not a factor. |
