depth gauge
Measures underwater distance
A depth gauge is an instrument for measuring how deep something extends—the depth of a hole, the remaining tread on a tire, or how far below the surface a diver has descended.
Machinists use depth gauges to measure recesses and grooves; divers wear them to monitor their position underwater.
