A PSI gauge is a SPG. No additional hoses required.

Feel free to ignore the recommendation for an additional depth gauge. If
you can't, consider a Citizen Hyper Aqualand watch. In addition to being a
good watch, they have a depth gauge, fast ascent alarm, water temperature
sensor and come with a download module.

I ended up returning it because it was way too complex for me at this
point. I bought a Genesis analog set-up.

Coincidentally, I got the Citizen Hyper Aqualand but was too "much"
right now. Do you know of any simpler watches which has a depth gauge?

Thanks,

Too complex???

Too "much"? It merely adds a few basic dive functions to a regular watch.

Do you know how to tell time with a digital watch or do you still use analog
for that as well? (Let's see, the little hand is on the 4, and the big hand
is on the 6. That means it's ???)

My opinion of you remains the same. Are you headed back to Puerto Rico
anytime soon? I hear they have world-class diving.

It doesn't get a whole lot simpler than the Citizen HA. You go into the
water and it shows dive time, current depth and ascent rate. You get out of
the water, it shows surface interval or time. Load the software, put the
watch in a cradle and it'll download the dive.

Which part of all of this proved to be too tough?
