I have about 15 dives on a set of sherwood guages, and they have worked flawlessly. Compass, pressure, and depth. I believe the model is called the console 150. I was rinsing off my gear last weekend and after further inspection I noticed an air bubble floating around in my depth guage(it must be filled with water). There is also an air bubble in the compass which I believe is normal. Are these air bubbles something to be concerned about. I am new to diving, OW certified back in may, and would really appreciate some help.
 
Many gauges are liquid filled. The light oil in the gauge keeps the needle from fluttering. If they are liquid filled from the factory a small bubble is normal. I am not sure if yours are supposed to be or not, but I would think you could looki it up in the paperwork that came with them.
 
If filled with water need repair return back to Dive shop, you gauges still in warranty period?
 
I got the same problem bought a Scubapro gauges used number of dives filled with water returned back to dealer, replaced new gauges for me.
