How to Use the Cave Marker Generator

Your complete guide to designing custom cave diving markers

1

Choose Your Marker Type

Start by selecting the type of marker you want to create. We offer two main types:

Cookie Markers

  • Round markers typically used for marking main lines or permanent installations
  • Text orientation options: Angled (45°) or Horizontal
  • Curved text option: Text can follow the circular edge
  • Identifier indents: 0-4 small notches for quick tactile identification

Arrow Markers

  • Directional markers used to indicate navigation routes
  • Text position options: Tip, Base, or Both Ends
  • Identifier indents: Near bottom, near tip, or both positions

Configure Your Design

Text Settings

  • Custom Text: Up to 3 characters (e.g., your initials "PFM")
  • Text Size: Small, Regular, or Large
  • Text Style: Engraved (recommended) or Cut Out

Identifier Indents

Small notches that help you identify markers by touch in low visibility conditions:

  • Number: Choose 0-4 indents
  • Style: Cut In (normal), All Protrude Out, Mixed, or Mixed Reverse

💡 Pro Tip

Use different numbers of identifier indents to distinguish between different dive sites or purposes. For example: 1 indent for main line, 2 indents for safety line, etc.
