Does anyone out there have this particular Dive Rite SPG model -- I'd appreciate any comments you have on quality and durability.

Thanks.

Large_Diver,
Yes, I use that guage. I especially like the readability and graduations. Very accurate SPG.

Yes, without the rubber covering. No complaints at all.

Well...maybe one tiny one. It's sometimes hard to read precise measurements in the redzone, which begins around 750 psi.

I've got them on all my stage/deco regs. Sans boot. Bought from NESS in fact, too.

I use that one, and (horrors!) leave the rubber boot on...
I like it just fine.

My buddy and I also use the Dive Rite gauges. Very heavy and study feeling. We removed the boot (DIR req.). Very easy to see pressure at 100psi incremints. I recommend them.

Ditto...word for word. I removed the boot. Thing is nice and sturdy. I hear nice things about the OMS as well, FWIW.

Very tough and robust! Good quality use on my back gas!

I've got one, removed the boot, tied on a bolt snap & switched to a 24" HP hose. Top rate.

I have the same SPG.. Nice unit.. Very sturdy.. I even kept the boot on

Could someone please explain why everybody is removing the boot? Its pretty streamlined compared to other gauges.. and just saying its DIR won't cut it.. I need a better explanation to understand...
