SPG in both PSI and Bar

Can anyone recommend a simple SPG that has both bar and PSI markings on it? My fiancee is an instructor who prefers using bar for most diving, but needs PSI markings as well when she is working with students. I'm looking for just the gauge, not a console unit that includes a compass, analog depth gauge, etc.

The only one I've found is from OMS. Any others?

Thanks!

How about just adding a few index marks on the face of her existing guage with a Sharpie or a paint pen?

That's definitely one idea I thought about. Just curious if there was one out there that did it a bit more elegantly since she's in the market to replace it anyhow. Thanks!

Really should not be all that necessary. 0 is 0 in metric or imperial - so just don't get close to zero! And it's simply multiply (or divide) by 15. So if you have 100 bar - you are at 1500. It's pretty quick to get used to the conversion - I did in a single dive in Australia.

Besides - just don't let it go into the red!

my spg has bar and psi markings, and the depth gauge has ft and meters too

unfortunately it doesnt seem have a brand, just some generic gauge my lds threw in as part of the reg package.

Red, what red, I ain't no stinkin red zone on the four SPG I got from you this spring. Must have been why they were so cheap.

Thanks texdiveguy. I'd seen the OMS one but not the one from Diverwest.
