Please explain.
I can understand this. I live in the Northern part of Europe and skipping a holiday dive because of some simple problem after a long journey is certainlly not what you want.I live in Northwest Ohio and most of my dives are in tropical locations. I don't want to abort a dive due to an equipment failure. When you consider the cost of travel etc. The price of those dives add up and I want to make them all count. I'd have no problems scratching a dive over not feeling well (or qualified for the dive), but I'd be pissed if I had to scratch one over something that was easily preventable.
This is why I take spares, whether it's a long trip , or our regular weekend trip where we're (my wife and I)away from civilisation.I can understand this.

All:
I read some of this thread and am really shocked at some of your answers/responses on wether to use a mechanical pressure gauge if you have ai. I am a pilot and also an airframe and power plant guy. I guess since I have been in aviation we have “redundant” systems. Why for the love of God would you get rid of a gauge on your console and leave everything to chance that your tank pod will not fail? What if it does and you’ve deleted the mechanical gauge? It’s a guessing game at that point on how much air you have left in your tank. A mechanical gauge is not that expensive, you already have a console, why delete it? As for me and my family, we all have air integrated wrist mounted dive computers and we also have console mounted back up computers and air pressure gauges. Hope you guys remain safe. Please think about your choice to delete a gauge because of technology. My 2 pennies worth.
