You don't need any more than one. If for some reason it fails, guess 
what,dives over besides you shound have a pretty good idea of your gas 
status. If the valve rolls off your guage will not move, if after a bit your 
tank preassure has not changed you know its off.Better to know beore a 
emergency hits.

you can access if needed, anyway the dive is over and you are on your way to
