| Re: Thinking gauges for a minute...... I only have button gauges on my rig, have done for about two years, I have very easily actuated contigency plans in place in case of lost dil or o2
and I have had too many problems with gauges/hoses leaking/bursting.
if you loose dil come up a little and the bag gas will expand or switch on bailout gas which is plugged into loop
if you loose o2 (noticed by SLOWLY dropping po2) run semiclosed and or plug in offboard deco gas, I can run manual on 70% nitrox the solenoid can (almost) do the job on 80%
I Always always check my button gauges before a dive and NEVER dive with less than 100bar of o2 and I never dive solo
works for me
