Add Fluorescein into your diver safety pack for every ocean dive. In case of getting lost in the ocean, the Fluorescein can be used to help to attract attention from the air. Fluorescein can also be a valuable tool to track water flow.
It is an organic dye marker that can even in small amounts intensively color the water green or even yellow-green, and it additionally shines in the sunlight. This significantly increases the chances of being spotted by a rescue boat or plane. The use of Fluorescein for rescue from the sea has its origins in the second world war, where it saved the lives of many pilots.
