Kevin Connell,

I believe the importance in guages on deco bottles is as follows:

Extended bottom time due to an emergency means extended deco.  It is
good to know how much deco gas you have left so that you can modify your
breathing or your deco stops in advance.

You know exactly how much gas is in the tank.  Any number of things can
happen that can cause you to have less deco gas by the time you use the
bottle then when you first gauged it.

I wear both of my deco bottles on the left with gauges and have no
problems with clutter or failure.  Strappin down the gauge with a piece
of tubing works great.

Later,
Greg Kuiper
