Inexpensive SPG

[sambolino44]

OK, I've been using this gauge for a while now, and one of the things I really like about it is that it's the easiest to read gauge I've ever used, because the increments are in 100 PSI, no more counting, "Is that five marks to a thousand (200 PSI) or four marks (250 PSI)? Sure makes life easier. Why aren't they all like that?

Dive tech in Mallory Town had a deal on Spg's last time I was there. Under $100cdn wit hose.

Pro Tech in Playa had some deals on Diverite SPg's too.

What about the TDL one (Gauge-TDL-TECH SPG-L [Gauge-TDL-TECH SPG-L] - $69.00 : Tech Diving Limited - Home of Nautilus Dive Planner)
Does anyone know if it's still the same factory ? it's say Italy on the face ...

Thank you

That gauge is fine, TDL will treat you right.

Same factory, with added finish. Nice gauge; I have 3-4 from TDL. I'd suggest you CALL, though, to make sure they have it in stock. I've had to wait before... For best price, you can't beat Soggy.

Add my vote for Soggydiving.com.

I have one SPG with a shiny blue H that cost me $34 more than the DIR Zone SPGs Soggy sells, but I needed it now so it was worth it at the time. I personally like the 4500 psi gauges like the DIR Zones better than the 5000 or 5500 psi gauges as 100 psi lines are IMO slightly easier to read.

Yup. I haven't seen Soggy's gauge first hand, but I can tell you the finish and the silk screening on the TDL SPGs are better than that of the XS Scuba SPG.

That said, I suspect they'll both show me the pressure in my tank equally well.

I use a plastic Sherwood spg from 1989. It goes up to 5000 psi and has never let me down.

Does that make me a bad person? Would people like me more if my spg were made out of brass and glass?

I got a great deal for a brass and glass from Phil at Dive Sports.
