Ensure your dives are both safe and enjoyable with our range of pressure gauges and dive compasses. Our equipment is crafted to enhance navigation and monitor your dive's progression.

Scuba diving demands careful oversight and readiness. While the ocean floor offers mesmerizing marine life and scattered wrecks, conditions and visibility can swiftly alter. Lacking proper gear may lead to disorientation.

Minimize risks by arming yourself with essential safety tools such as diving gauges. These instruments are invaluable in underwater navigation, tracking depth, pressure, and dive duration. Discover dependable diving depth gauges at Diving Sports Canada to optimize your underwater experiences.

Why Diving Gauges Matter

Ensure precise monitoring of your dive time and depth with a dependable diving gauge. Diving gauges play a critical role in scuba diving by tracking three key pieces of information: depth, pressure, and location. These systems provide essential data about your air supply and aid in planning a safe diving excursion. They are available for purchase individually, in pairs, or as a complete set.

Depth Gauges

A depth gauge records both your current depth and the maximum depth reached during a dive. Lightweight, durable, and ergonomically designed to fit comfortably in your hand, a depth gauge allows for quick and easy readings at a glance.

Pressure Gauges (SPGs)

Even if you rely on a dive computer, a submersible pressure gauge (SPG) is a crucial safety backup in emergencies. The SPG shows the remaining air in your tank, enabling you to safely conclude your dive. Many models are compatible with high-pressure hoses and available in regulator packages.

Dive Compasses

An indispensable tool for underwater navigation, a dive compass ensures smooth maneuvering at dive sites. When visibility is compromised, it helps you maintain composure and orientation. With a floating needle that consistently points north, it allows you to retrace your route and return to your starting point or boat safely.

How to Choose the Right Diving Gauge

When selecting the ideal scuba diving gauge, consider factors like weight and construction materials. For younger or smaller divers, a compact wrist depth gauge is ideal. Opt for gauges crafted from durable metals that withstand impacts and maintain precise readings. Explore features such as temperature indicators, maximum depth needles, and luminescent dials for enhanced dive control.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a scuba pressure gauge (SPG)?

An SPG (Submersible Pressure Gauge) shows how much air remains in your tank so you can end your dive safely and avoid running out of air.

What does a depth gauge do?

A depth gauge tells you how deep you are underwater and often includes your maximum depth reached. This is essential for dive planning and decompression safety.

Do I need a compass if I have a dive computer?

Yes. A compass is a reliable backup for underwater navigation, especially in low visibility or emergencies where a computer might fail or lose signal.

How do I choose between analog and digital gauges?

Analog gauges are reliable and don't need batteries, while digital gauges offer advanced features. Choose based on your diving style and preference.

Can I travel with my diving gauges?

Yes, most gauges are lightweight and travel-friendly. Many divers use compact or console-style gauges when traveling to reduce bulk.

Are pressure and depth gauges sold separately?

You can purchase them individually or as part of a console set. Consoles often combine pressure, depth, and compass in one convenient unit.

How often should I replace or service my gauges?

Have your instruments checked during annual gear servicing. If damaged or inaccurate, replace immediately for safety.

Is there a difference between recreational and technical scuba diving depth gauges?

Yes. Technical diving depth gauges are often more precise, rated for deeper depths (beyond 130 ft / 40 m), and may include features like decompression tracking. Recreational gauges are typically rated to shallower depths and are simpler in design.

Are scuba instruments compatible with all regulators?

Most pressure gauges connect via high-pressure ports on standard regulators. Always confirm compatibility when buying a new gauge or console.

Where can I buy scuba gauges in Canada?

Diving Sports Canada offers a curated selection of dive gauges, compasses, and consoles from top brands, with fast shipping across Canada.
