After thinking, asking and researching in every possible way, I decided to buy Halcyon BP/wings (27 & 55) SS plates, and Scubapro MK25/S600 and 380 octopus.
Would you think I need a depth gauge together with the air pressure gauge? It just get bigger, and I have both Mosquito Suunto computer and Citizen dive watch for backup as depth gauges. Is it important to have an analog depth gauge as backup as well?
"I will spare you a gushy description of the dive itself, except to say that when you finally see what goes on underwater, you realize that you've been missing the whole point of the ocean. Staying on the surface all the time is like going to the circus and staring at the outside of the tent. "
-Dave Barry
While you can get by with computer only depth readings, I learned my lesson when my computer battery went out on an 80' dive while using 38% EAN and not carrying a depth gauge. I love the streamlined feel of just carrying a SPG (I use a compact Scubapro unit, its very small and easy to keep out of the way), but now I carry a loose depth gauge in my pocket just in case.
