So, this SPG flooded on a dive. Inspection revealed that the faceplate had dislodged. I was a bit surprised to find that the faceplate is simply pressed on and not otherwise mechanically retained. It' not a new gauge but this is the first time its flown and I'm guessing that reduced cabin pressure in my 3 hour flight to the Caribbean may be the cause, but in any case I'm at the what now stage.
It's a simple matter to press the faceplate back on but it doesn't seem seat fully, possibly it's intended to be installed in a vacuum.
I know there are some amazing gear gurus on this forum so I'm posting this to see if there's a path to a reliable repair, or if not to give a heads up to others before they have to abort a dive.
