One of the local dive shops here in Dallas has an Atlantis on display.  One
of the first things I noticed about was the submersible pressure gauge; it
was calibrated in bar, rather than psi.

Somebody tell me how it is possible for a diver, properly supervised by
instructors, representing the manufacturer, to jump in the water without
checking the pressure gauge.

Maybe I had a really outstanding Basic class, twenty years ago when SPGs
were brand-new technology, but I somewhere got this idea that you NEVER got
in the water until you had checked the tank pressure and knew you had
plenty of gas.
