1. A wireless tank pressure transmitter, comprising:
- a housing having at least one inlet, the at least one inlet operable to receive an inlet flow of breathing gas from a high pressure regulator;
a pressure sensor disposed within the housing and connected to the at least one inlet and operable to detect a pressure of the breathing gas supplied through the at least one inlet;
a gas sensor disposed within the housing and connected to the at least one inlet and operable to detect a constituent of the breathing gas;
a control arrangement disposed within the housing and configured for compiling a pressure reading from the pressure taken by the pressure sensor and for compiling a constituent reading from the constituent taken by the gas sensor;
wherein the control arrangement is configured for wireless communication of the pressure reading and the constituent reading to a dive computer; and
wherein the at least one inlet includes a high pressure inlet and an intermediate inlet, the high pressure inlet to be connected to a high pressure outlet port of the high pressure regulator, the intermediate inlet to be connected to an intermediate outlet port of the high pressure regulator.
