Re: Thinking gauges for a minute......

Could anyone tell me the percentage of failure rate on gauges?
I have been diving over a year with the same gauges and have not had any problems (now I say that I probably will)
Maybe it is a comfort thing I check my gauges before I dive, and during my dive, and then for my post dive check. When diving last week, checked my gauges, went for a dive, checked my gauge when I got out of the water. Prior to the next dive I checked them again, found I had lost 300psi, so I had a small leak and traced it back to the o-ring, on the cylinder. You never know it could be a start of something to go wrong. I guess I am just cautious.
