SPG placement

[vioch]

I check my SPG at the bottom of the shotline, maybe once during the dive, and then just before I hit minimum gas.

Doesn't GUE teach to conduct every 5 minutes Situational Awareness Check, which also includes tracking gas consumption by checking SPG?

 

[TSandM]

GUE teaches a situational awareness check far more often than every five minutes -- more like every 30 seconds or so. But SPG checking varies. I was taught to do it every five minutes during a cave dive, and to take "snapshots" of depth, time, gas and cave topography. In open water, I don't recall being told how often to check my gauge. We ARE expected to know what that pressure will be BEFORE we check it, though.

SOP Manual ver 1.0
It is encouraged that a Sit Check be conducted at the start of the dive and approximately every five minutes thereafter.

I was taught SPG verification every 5 minutes in GUE-F 12/2010.

... since your stuff is still here, I don't think that counts (thus demonstrating that DIR mods do, in fact, have a sense of humor) ...

Since my stuff is not, does that indicate that non-DIR mods do not? Godwin's Law was invoked; I merely proved its truthiness.

Yeah it wasn't a serious complaint. I don't envy you mods your job (especially not in this forum!).
