I've decided that I want to buy my own regulator kit and BCD. Those are the only 2 pieces of gear that I don't own yet and have decided after my first pre-certification dives that I want my own gear lol.
I already have a computer that is capable of AI. Obviously my computer has depth on it as well.
So since my computer has depth on it, and if I had a transmitter it could also have the tank air pressure on it, would there be a need for me to get an SPG/depth gauge with my reg kit?
Is it common that people simply do not have any gauges on their setup, and is that something that is safe? I realize that redundancy is a good thing and people do have gauges with AI and computers, but I'm just wondering if it is common practice to not have gauges?
The main reason I'm wondering is because I am wondering if I should be more in the market for a transmitter instead of worrying about what gauges to get, and spending the money I would on gauges and put it towards a transmitter.
