ALL CYLENDERS SHOULD HAVE GUAGES AT ALL TIMES !!!   you neverknow when the

dive profile might change, and you may need to know what is in the tank to

make a safe choice.. i could rant and rave on this one too, but i know you

don't want to hear it.   btw rich, i do agree that on bail out it will or

wont be enough, but knowing how much you have could keep you mentally

stronger for making good choices.. and let you know when yo uhave to start

writing your will on your slate...  ie  rich gets my aquarium, hal gets my

wife, rooney gets my shop (sorry dude, last on the list).. things like that.


aloha,
