I'm surprised at how expensive brass SPGs are. It seems to me that none of the SCUBA gear brands actually make these, they just put their logo on one made by somebody else. This makes me think there must be some way to get a decent-quality brass and glass SPG for a lot less if you just know where to look. Is that true? Or am I really going to have to pay around $100 for a gauge?
Soggy is where I got mine. It is a very nice SPG, good service and about as good a price as you'll find. However I almost died since there is no red zone to tell me when to go up
Boggles my mind that these are so much cheaper than the POS plastic "rec" ones I had been using before I knew better.

Considering the SPG is the one guage that will keep you alive, what's your life worth?

They're almost always on sale somewhere for around $50.00, or about the cost of the plastic ones.
Phil at Dive Sports has them from XS Scuba for a great price. He has the standard and compact sizes, both brass and glass. Check them out here and here.
The views expressed above are simply my opinion and do not necessarily bare any resemblance to the truth. As a matter of fact, they are typically a load of bunk and should be summarily disregarded.
I also wonder why they are so pricey. I just picked up a beauty on Ebay. Brass and glass Scubapro spg with luminous face with a attached hp hose. Very rugged. Total cost with shipping-$28.00. And it had the "Danger Zone" marked so I know when to abort the mission. Thanks again Ebay.
