Yep you are right, 27.3 is so much more confusing than 89' 6 3/4". I don't know how I missed that at school, silly me. Damn and now I am going to die because I have been metricated. Oh well such is life, no life for the wicked.
You can make your choice now. You could go 6 ft under.
Or you could go 1.829268292682926829268292682926882926829268292682926829268292688292682926829268292682926... meters under.

Right then ............... Who is being the smarty pants I think your calculation is out by a factor of 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 thus confusing everyone. And anyway I cant count past 2 feet as I only have 2 of them to use, thus metrication is a much better option. I carry metres with me, depth metre (meter), pressure metre (meter) thus my calculator is at hand.
FWIW, my Apeks SPG has a dual scale and people often ask about where to find such beasts. Apparently Scuba Pro has come out with one, found this on Dan's site tonight:

Actually we signal numbers all the time to indicate remaining tank pressure. However as long as your buddy knows bar and does not get confused it shouldn't matter. The conversions are easy. I dove solo almost all the time so having an SPG reading in bar or PSI doesn't matter to me.
I don't care what my students / insta-buddies dive. I check on the first dive I do with them which system they use and convert the SPG pressure before I signal them. It's not that hard to do the math in your head. Be flexible and you'll have a better time. I do have all my SPG's in BAR and plan my own dives in meters. Somehow I manage to get up alive every time (and customers also) with some of them using imperial units. Dive what works for you.
