I run a Perdix AI with transmitter. I have a brass and glass SPG on left hip for both doubles and single tank regs. I have a compass I use when necessary that’s on a bungee mount on the back of my right hand. I sight it like I do a rifle.

You won’t ever catch me using a console. Big, bulky, get in the way., and too many people let them dangle. I hate them with a passion. Danglies are Very Bad.
 
Now that is hilarious!

Wait till you see an OW class entering the water at a local dive site with all their stuff dangling all over the place and all in all, everyone looking like a mess.
 
I am looking for a pressure gauge that is directly connected to the first stage (no hose). It could be fitted directly on top of the first stage. No need to access when diving - I just want a small gauge I can access before I dive. When diving I am using my transmitter. If the transmitter or computer fails I then got a small gauge permanently fitted, difficult to get to, but it is there.

This will act as a small spare gauge and easy the see the pressure before and after the dive. Does this exist?

Most people I have seen got the gauge on a small hose. Is my suggestion a good idea? Does it exist?

LOL – I have not DMed a class in 20 yrs, I do understand what you’re saying though. It looks to me that a AI PC and transmitter starts at a minimum of ~$900.
 
You guys have an air integrated PC… The PC gives you dive time, depth, tank air level. Only thing you do not have is a compass in it?

Do you guys not have a backup analog SPG?

Both my AI computer and my non-AI backup computer have a compass.


I do have a back up analog SPG that so far has only ever been used to quickly check the air pressure when hooking up to a tank.
