Visited a marina in San Diego last month and noticed none of the dive lockers had any marking tape on their tanks

I was down at Shelter Island helping a buddy swap out some zincs on his boat, and I walked past maybe a dozen commercial dive rigs staged on the dock. Every single tank had a solid band of marking tape around the neck with the company name and last hydro date. Don't know if it's just a regional thing or what, but back home in the Gulf we barely ever tape ours. Has anyone else seen this kind of strict labeling standard out on the west coast?

Wrapped electrical tape around my valves after a cracked neck in '19.

Yeah I knew a guy who color-coded his dive gear with hockey tape.
