Jim, we don't need it. This guy kept using the same tanks all day to dive at 
30 feet watching decompressing divers. When we dive , it makes no difference 
what the guage says - we plan the gas use in advance, and the divers are 
perfectly matched for gas consumption. I know that one of us and all of us will 
be calling a dive simultaneously, so we really have three pressure guages, or 
six if you count the bottom  timers which tell you the same thing (time at
depth 
is the same as gas used to us).

  I told these guys to turn their gas off and on before each repetitive dive to 
see if the guage sticks. Besides it made no difference, he had another 250
cubic 
feet on him at the time, and was not een breathing from his back gas anyway. 

  These wrieck dives you are doing sound like some fun. What are we talking in 
terms of vis?- G
