Content: it reduces intermediate air pressure supplied by a low-pressure hose to an ambient air pressure that a diver can breathe. The alternate second stage is a back-up, that ordinarily is not used. It enables a diver to share air from his tank with a second diver in case of an out-of-air emergency. Alternate second stages are usually bright colors, such as neon yellow, which allows them to be quickly located. As diver education and safety procedures have evolved, alternate second stages have become standard scuba diving safety gear, allowing any diver to breathe from any other diver's tank. 4. Submersible Pressure Gauge and Gauge Console
The submersible pressure gauge (also called a pressure gauge or SPG) allows a diver to monitor the amount of air in his scuba tank so that he doesn't run out of air underwater. The pressure gauge is connected to the regulator first stage by a high-pressure hose (HP hose) that feeds high-pressure air from the tank directly to the pressure gauge. Frequently, the console containing the pressure gauge also holds a variety of other gauges, such as a depth gauge, compass, or dive computer. 5.
