SPG or not

[Nemrod]

Dittos. Nothing wrong with a single AI if one is into that technology, myself, just a simple spg is all I need or want.

For recreational dives I look at my spg when I turn the air on to check I have a good tank, I check it again as I waddle to the drop to make sure when I take a breath the needle does not fall, depending upon depth, I check it again at my half way point or turn point and if all is good I probably do not look at it again.

Consoles are so 70's and 80's, like leisure suits and disco. Just say no to large multi-instrument consoles.

I dove almost 30 years with SPG. Wife has been using SPG and AI for some 20 years.

Then, last year I finally yielded and added AI. After some 50 dives I realized I have stopped looking at SPG, so off it went. Now I ask wofe after every dive how many times she took a look at SPG, always same answer "none" and I try to convince her to remove the SPG but she refuses. Go figure.

When diving at home the SPG is in the car trunk, just in case. For liveaboards, vacations I tell wife that if my AI breaks or battery dies then I take her SPG.

My sons don't want AI at all, just SPG.
