Contents gauge or Depth AND Contents gauge
Hello all,

I decided some time ago to quit diving, sold my beloved kit on e-bay for half the price I paid for it, and then 12 months on felt the overwhelming craving to get back in the water. I am now very much regretting flogging everything and am in the process of replacing - not a cheap exercise!!

I have just brought a new BCD which comes with a free contents gauge.

I still need to buy regs, and my question is, can I just use the contents gauge that's come with my BCD, or would people recomment I have a mechanical depth gauge also. I have a computer, which I rely on for depth readings, and never check the contents gauge, but appreciate in the unlikely event that my computer packed up underwater, a depth gauge would be very useful.

What do people generally think and use? Do many people dive without a depth gauge and only rely on their computer?

Thanks

Jen
