PSA: Stop relying on that cheap depth gauge from Harbor Freight

I was working a bridge job in Norfolk last month and my buddy's gauge showed 95 feet when we were actually at 110. That 15 foot difference nearly got him bent on a 30 minute bottom time. Has anyone else tested theirs against a calibrated unit lately?

Test yours against a known good one first.

Man, that's scary. I had a similar thing happen with mine off Key Largo, it was off by 12 feet and @parker_park8 is right, you gotta check them against a good one first.
