Gauges and Dive Watches  
 


Gauges

Most divers today opt to combine several dive instruments in one console, where they can be easily viewed and carried. We stock a range of instrument consoles from most of the main manufacturers (Cressi-Sub, Mares, Oceanic, Beaver, Beuchat etc.) in a variety of different sizes, displays and combinations.


The main difference between console configurations is that some are set up as two gauge consoles - designed to carry the submersible pressure gauge (SPG) and depth gauge - whereas others are three gauge consoles which may contain a submersible pressure gauge, depth gauge and underwater compass. Some instrument consoles have additional features such as an integrated thermometer or a dive timer, and some even incorporate a computer.

The Contents (Air) gauge measures the pressure in your cylinder and displays its contents. The pressure range indicated generally ranges from 0 to 300 bar. The depth gauge reads the surrounding pressure and converts it to a depth reading. If you're going to be diving in low light, deep or murky water you may want to pay particular attention to gauges which include a luminous face or large numbers.

Dive watches

We also stock a large selection of dive watches including the stunning Citizen range :

  • the Eco Drive range, which never need a battery but instead convert natural or artificial light into energy which is stored in an Eco_Drive energy cell
  • the ProMaster Aqualand range of computer watches
