Key Features
- Submersible pressure gauge
- Depth gauge with maximum depth indicator
- Compass for reliable underwater navigation
- Durable impact-resistant boot
- Multiple attachment points for clips and lanyards
- OceanGlo luminescent gauge faces for enhanced readability
Submersible Pressure Gauge
The pressure gauge is a critical component of any dive console as it provides real-time information about the diver's air supply. The Oceanic Max-Depth SWIV Gauge features a pressure gauge with a readout range of 0 to 5,000 psi. This wide range allows divers to monitor their air consumption accurately throughout the dive.
One standout feature of the pressure gauge is the color-coded safety reserve. The gauge is color-coded in red from 0 to 500 psi, indicating that the diver is running low on air and needs to ascend to the surface. This visual cue is invaluable for ensuring diver safety and preventing the risk of running out of air.
The pressure gauge is equipped with a shock-resistant bourdon tube mechanism, ensuring accurate pressure readings even in challenging diving conditions. It is also complemented by a double Kevlar braided high-pressure hose with triple chrome-plated marine brass fittings. The 7/16" threaded end and 360° swivel end of the hose provide flexibility and ease of use.
To further enhance usability, the pressure gauge also features a temperature gauge. The red-colored needle tips on both the pressure and temperature gauges make it easy to read and interpret the information, even in low-light conditions.
Depth Gauge with Maximum Depth Indicator
Accurate depth monitoring is crucial for safe and efficient diving. The depth gauge of the Oceanic Max-Depth SWIV Gauge provides divers with precise depth readings from 0' to 200'. The gauge is color-coded for easy and safe reading at a glance, with safety red color-coded indicators at 0' to 30' for safety stops.
One standout feature of the depth gauge is the maximum depth indicator needle (MDIN). This needle marks the diver's deepest depth reached on a dive, providing valuable information for logging dive details and planning repetitive dives. The MDIN is a great feature for divers who want to keep track of their diving achievements and progress.
The depth gauge also boasts an expanded shallow scale for better readability at sport diving depths. This feature allows divers to easily read and interpret depth information, even in shallow waters.
Compass for Reliable Underwater Navigation
Navigation plays a crucial role in ensuring divers can explore their desired underwater destinations accurately. The Oceanic Max-Depth SWIV Gauge includes a high-quality compass that is specifically designed for underwater navigation.
The compass features large, easy-to-read bearing indicators that provide gun-sight accuracy. The side-scan window allows for quick reference of these indicators on a luminescent display, making navigation effortless, even in limited visibility conditions.
The ratchet bezel of the compass can be easily rotated, even with thick neoprene gloves. This feature ensures that divers can accurately align the compass course and navigate with precision. The compass also includes compass headings in 30° numbered increments and indicator marks for every 10°, providing divers with accurate direction and reference points.
Design and Durability
The Oceanic Max-Depth SWIV Gauge is designed to withstand the rigors of diving. The durable impact-resistant boot protects the gauges from accidental bumps and scrapes, ensuring their longevity. The boot also features multiple eyelets for attachment of a clip or lanyard, allowing divers to keep the gauge console close at hand and prevent it from dragging over the environment.
The gauges themselves are constructed with high-quality materials and precise craftsmanship. The pressure gauge utilizes a shock-resistant bourdon tube mechanism for reliable and accurate pressure readings. The depth gauge features a non-linear scale that is easier to read in shallow depths, thanks to Oceanic's innovative OceanGlo luminescent display. This luminescent display absorbs light seven times faster and longer than other glow-in-the-dark materials, enhancing readability in low-light conditions.
The compass is a standout feature of the Oceanic Max-Depth SWIV Gauge. Its reliable underwater navigation capabilities, large ratcheting bezel, and precision jeweled bearing make it an indispensable tool for divers. The strong magnets incorporated in the compass ensure quick response and accuracy, allowing for seamless navigation underwater.
