GENERAL AREAS - WHERE ARE GAUGES USED?
A primary operational requirement within Dive Control is that the Diving Supervisor maintains direct, uninterrupted access to an approved complement of certified pressure monitoring instruments. Diver depth gauges must feature dual-scale calibration in meters of sea water (msw) and feet of sea water (fsw) to ensure precise depth monitoring across standard diving tables. Within the Decompression Chamber system, dedicated Life Support and Caisson Gauges monitor internal chamber pressure to verify decompression schedules. Furthermore, all primary and secondary breathing gas lines must incorporate dedicated indicating gauges with dual-scale bar and psi dials, segmented into High-Pressure circuits (200 to 300 bar) for gas storage banks and Low-Pressure circuits (5 to 60 bar) for regulated diver supply feeds.



| Instrument Type | System Location | Pressure / Depth Range | Scale Units | Primary Safety Function |
| Depth Gauge | Dive Control Panel | Ambient operating range | msw / fsw (Dual) | Diver depth tracking |
| Caisson / Life Support Gauge | Decompression Chamber (Internal / External panel) | Chamber operational depth | msw / fsw | Chamber internal pressure & decompression control |
| HP Supply Indicating Gauge | Dive Control / HP Manifolds | 200 – 300 bar | bar / psi (Dual) | Primary & reserve bulk gas storage monitoring |
| LP Supply Indicating Gauge | Dive Control / LP Manifolds | 5 – 60 bar | bar / psi (Dual) | Diver umbilical delivery & regulated supply line pressure |
