    Which SPG do you use for your stages and your main?

    Just wanted to know which SPG do you use for you main and for your stages?
    I guess I want to know for the DIR configuration. I've seen that it needs to have more details than usual, I mean, like a 100 scale...
    what brands?
    Thanks!

    For my doubles, I use a DR Brass and Glass gauge. Couldn't find an Uwatec Master SPG. Works great. For stages, I have the oceanic plastic gauge. Some guys use the mini gauges(not the button/pony style)

    I use OMS gauges on back gas and stages. They have several varieties, I don't remember the model numbers but mine are made from brass with glass lenses and are graduated in imperial 00's.

    OMS also makes a little button gauge that I use on the argon bottles.

    Beuchat & Oceanic

    I use Beuchat brass & glass for backgas and the oceanic plastic for stages. I want every ounce I can get off my stages.

    I would like to have the Uwatec for BG but the price (if you can find one) is steep.

    Uwatec Master on BG and a handful of stges, other stages have the scubapro mini's. Any pressure guage will suffice as long as it meets the following criteria: brass/glass and graduated in 100's.

    You don't like the plastic oceanic gauges?
