I'm confused. Maybe I'm missing something here. I've had my plane-jane Uwatec brass and glass gauge way past 500 feet and it's never given me any trouble. It always reads correctly, and it doesn't bend, crack, or implode. Plastic gauges do stick, but then that's why I don't have any. What brass gauges are you guys using that are sticking at depth? And if the glass is bowing in enough to make the indicator stick, how is it that it doesn't crack? -Mike Rodriguez <mikey@mi*.ne*> http://www.mikey.net/scuba/schedule.html Pn(x) = (1/(2^n)n!)[d/dx]^n(x^2 - 1)^n -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
