Kevin-

Well, yeah, you would notice that your gauge is not moving. My point was 
that if the gauge was reading incorrectly you should be able to recognize 
that fact from having a pretty good feel of what your air usage *should* 
be at any given point in time. 

ie if you have been down X minutes and you know that you on this sort of 
dive you normally would have used, say 1500psi at this point and your 
gauge says you've used only 500psi, what would you do, believe the gauge 
or your experience? Me, I would feel that something is fishy and perhaps 
call the dive. This is what the diver did in JT's post.
