I was chatting with a divemaster who uses only a single SPG on a hose and then his Suunto for depth, temp, time and all the other features of a modern dive computer. Very streamlined, but also relying a lot on a battery for crucial information.
But it got me thinking I could streamline my kit if I followed suit and only had a single hose gauge (SPG) and then got a wrist-mounted compass to ride next to my Gekko. For a backup timer/depth gauge, I could use a Citizen Aqualand or similar on my other wrist ("two is one, one is none"). I currently never use my console-mounted depth gauge and that and the compass only add to the bulk of the console. A single SPG on hose seems like a way to go.
Anyone else dive this way?
