Everything about Depth Gauge totally explained
A
depth gauge is a
pressure gauge that displays the equivalent depth in water. It is a piece of
diving equipment often used by
SCUBA divers.
Most modern diving depth gauges' have an
electronic mechanism and
digital display. Older types used a
mechanical mechanism and
analogue display.
A diver uses a depth gauge with
decompression tables and a
watch to avoid
decompression sickness. A common alternative to the depth gauge, watch and decompression tables is a
dive computer. A depth gauge and an
oxygen analyser/
oxygen sensor can be used to measure the
partial pressure of
oxygen of the
breathing gas, which is necessary to avoid
oxygen toxicity.
Digital depth gauges commonly also show the interval of time that the diver has been submerged and show the diver's rate of ascent and descent, which can be is useful for avoiding
barotrauma.
As the gauge only measures pressure, there's an inherent inaccuracy in the depth displayed by most gauges that are used in both
fresh water and
seawater due to the difference in the
densities of fresh water and seawater.
