SPG Confusion!?!

[Lisa M]

Curious, has anyone seen or had any experience with Dive Rite's new Slimline SPG or Halcyon's new SPG?

If so I would really appreciate hearing your opinion in terms of quality, accuracy and overall impressions.

Thanks!
Lisa

I haven't had a chance to use it yet, but it sure looks a LOT like the old Scubapro SPG's that are very popular and (surprisingly, considering the brand) reliable.

I'm actually planning on picking one up as my spg now that I sold my AI computer...

A very similar question was asked a little over a week ago by another user...

No real input there yet.

Honestly, buy which one is easier for you to obtain - there's few problems reported with SPGs apart from the spool o-rings failing, and that's not brand specific, and easily addressed.

ScubaPro and OMS also make quality brass SPGs. They all read the tank pressure in 100 psi increments.

My impression was the Scubapro's SPG, OMS, and probably Halcyon were made by some Italian company whose name escapes me at the moment.

If the all look identical, there is a really good chance that they are.
