Yesterday, a friend and I were diving in So Cal. We did a surface swim to the point where we were to descend to about 15 feet. When we did, my buddy signaled for me to look at his SPG. He had only 1500 pounds of air. We surfaced to discuss the situation. His dive shop apparently gave him a very short fill.
Here is what prompts me to post this: My friend explained that his SPG, which is on his wrist via a wireless transmitted on his regulator, does not kick in until he is 10 feed deep. (That is how he was unaware of the short fill until we submerged.) Is that for real? If so, it is pretty scary.
Your thoughts would be appreciated since the total dive lasted 19 minutes at 25 feet!!!
