Gauges - compass or no compass: that is the question now.
I am getting my very fist reg one of these days and wanted to get an opinion on the gauges and the options I should check out. The main concern is compass or no compass. I am a beginner diver, hoping to pass some advanced courses next year. I heard I need a gauge with compass (or some kind of compass) to pass some of those advanced courses. The compass seems to add at least $50 to the same brand/model gauge. As I am on budget the question is:
- Do I just get the whole pressure/depth/compass gauge now or later?
If I get the depth/pressure gauge now, I will likely have to get some wrist compass / dive computer later on , which could be a ‘significant’ expense. Or, from your experience, am I going to have to get the wrist computer anyways later on in my ‘diving career’, so may as well save some money on unnecessary gauges.
Thanks in advance,
