We live in Valparaiso, FL and dive out of Destin,
You can buy an intermediate pressure checker through LeisurePro for about $40 (including shipping) or assemble your own for about $15.

1. Buy a Craftsman pressure gauge (300 psi) at Sears for about $10
2. Buy the appropriate male BC inflator hose connector at your LDS for about $5
3. Buy an adapter from a hardware store to match the BC connector with the gauge
4. Wrap some Teflon tape around the threads and screw everything together.
 
Stone,

Thanx! I think I'll do that this weekend. I hate borrowing my LDS's gauge all the time. It's much easier at home!
