Hello all, going to try and make this as clear as possible. Right now for the last few years, I have this tank pressure gauge, the Tusa SCA-150. It is a standalone gauge just for tank pressure.

I need to know if this will fit a different boot, or if it's proprietary, before I go spend money on a different boot with 3 holes. My main goal is to add a backup depth gauge (standalone puck that will hopefully fit, any recomendations) and a compass for navigation on the bottom side. Right dive I just use my wrist dive computer for my depth, but would like a backup incase the watch ever fails underwater. Also really need a compass, especially for my advanced certification I would like to take soon.

One like this for example would be perfect, provided it fits

Another model, but I dont like it as much

Would this work and fit the TUSA? It's really hard to find this out, as TUSA doesn't give much information on their gauge really.

Maybe one of these gauges to pop in for depth

Ask Omar at One-More-Chance-Scuba (the pictures taken on the diver's flag on eBay) if he can measure it for you--he probably will. My experience with gauge consoles is the the SPGs will usually be interchangeable but the depth gauges seem to vary a lot more, especially in thickness. On the plastic consoles that screw together you can sometimes add a little padding (7mm wetsuit rubber, etc) and get it to center properly and be secure, or notch it out inside with a Dremel tool or whatever. Compasses also vary a lot and may or may not fit.

This particular console has a notch out on the top hole which I suspect is for a bottom timer, so you can reset and wind it but they were available without the notch.
 
Here's a side profile of an Oceanic SPG from my wife's console
Overall thickness is .935"
The larger diameter is 2.2" and .4" thick (these are the more important dimensions)
the smaller is 2.1"

The larger diameter portion is what holds it in the boot. If your Tusa gauge does not have a 2.2" x .4" "section" , it won't fit. - clarification - It won't fit snugly.
