- The Spare air is a small bail out tank you can use for short scuba dives and as backup air during scuba diving
Buy the Spare Air: amzn.to/2tv7fX2
You need this to fill it: amzn.to/2tywk4j

My dad just gave me one, this will be so useful in case of any emergency. i deal with beginners who do introductory many times . If anything happens this will be a great tool. imagine if a customer drowns or dies that would be devastating to the company. always be prepared.
Regard spare air as stand alone diving: I investigated every angle of this for two summers, 2009-2011. Dived countless pools, a lake, and it was with my older child in the pools as we had plenty of training weeks leading up to actually using it. Findings: without training you can certainly die very fast, the pressure gradient in the zone you will be using this (not super deep) is the risky gradient to be caught holding one's breath; total lung damage will occur with any mishaps. That being said, lots of kids are scuba trained for basic technique and this gear isn't particularly dangerous if basic breathing habits and reactions are tested, verified and in place, and you are licensed / padi etc. in a typical pool of 10 ft at the bottom, you get about 8-10 mins max if you breathe in control and aren't moving much. we would switch out bottles while underwater, one bottle for each leg lol. ~16 min runs. Back out to car, where two tanks awaited and refilled. over and over, total fun for two years then it got boring and I ebayed them. If someone not certified bought one of these and used it, I would give them a 99% chance of dying a horrible injured drowning death.
what do you mean its a risky gradient to be holding your breath?
@@chronicawareness9986 the shallow three feet deep to the surface is a very fast expansion depth for air contained in a breath hold. It would be very dangerous to have coincidentally taken an inhale of the pressurized air a few feet down and for whatever reason held breath upon ascent. If it’s trained out by habit it’s not much of a risk, and the average water goer might have better breathing habits anyway. The point is lung damage can absolutely occur at depths we’d think it couldn’t when using compressed air.
@@chronicawareness9986 but trained correctly, it becomes the funnest 2009 a rascal and her dad did spend.
@@brandon429 huh?
@@shadowlandstudios86 easier to comprehend version: it’s easy to pop your lungs and die doing this unless you’re scuba trained.
Awesome idea/device. I'm not a diver, but it looks like something very useful. Its like a fire extinguisher. Chances are you wont need it, but when you do need it, you NEED IT.........
I bought it as a pool toy! I researched as much as I could. I have the 1l. I over research everything! I would never just use it without knowing what to do. Also talked to a few people I know who are certified
sometimes i either forget to breath or i breath so soft and so little that i forget im breathing at all
Prison break detected
UnmistakeN you copied someone
Watching the 90s baywatch show made me want one of these!
Hulk hogan in Thunder n paradise made me always want one.
visste ikke at du var norsk før denne videoen, kul channel btw :)
I love watching your videos can u do more about swimming
Du e norsk og har sett deg på norske talenter ❤️❤️
+Scooter BROS
Stemmer det
Ka du dreiv me på norske talenter?
Scooter BROS haha 3 på natta og jobb imorra. Mye rart man roter seg borti seint på natta 😂
I just want it in case I crash into a river or get trapped in my car underwater.
I think that it wouldn’t hold air very well for a long time, unless you are pumping it up every few weeks or something
Keep it in car in case you crash in water.
I know you said its not a toy, but it looks like a fun toy to me...
Now you said you can do that so I'm gonna I wanna snorkel but there is one play that is too far down I can get down there but I have to immediately go straight back up so I'm going to probably use this just to stay under for a little bit longer
This is a really great review and I think you hit all the safety points on the head.There is a knock off product of this called Scorkl. It is on Kickstarter now and they are advertising it as a toy for anybody to use. It also comes with a hand pump to pump up. I believe it is a interesting idea to have a very tiny scuba system to use for very shallow exploration but I think many people will get hurt since they are not certified.
It is a very cool concept to go somewhere with a hand pump and a tiny tank and be able to scuba dive for a long time. No heavy cylinders or BCD's, no need to worry about dive tables or DCI since you go shallow. You should look it up :)
(Your English is extremely good btw)
Thanks, I appreciate the feedback.
I have seen Scorkl, looks like the same product. They just added a pump.
I'm for sure bringing my Spare Air to use on vacation. But I would recommend people to have a diving course before they start breathing compressed air.
Pussy
Can u also fill it with scuba hand pump? Thanks for sharing
I try to open.My eyes but I scared what it happen to me
how do i start scuba diving for cheaper? im 14 and 5'6, i am ok with only diving for 10 to 20 minutes before i need to refill with a pump, i will also be doing this in lakes, rivers, or ponds, not ocean
Dude do a divers license!
There are so many dangers of diving which you can't forsee as a novice without proper training and equipment. Please don't start diving with something like this.
I was looking into this not as a toy but to use for some shallow water scuba diving. What I mean is like exploring reefs in very shallow water where you would normally just use a normal diving mask just to get more time under the water. Now for that, would you recommend a product like this?
again you have to be a trained diver and know NOT to hold your breath going up. Most people will panick when they run out of air after a few minutes and possibly race to the top holding their air. It's not a toy!
How many PSI does it have? Like 3000-3500? And how long it lasts?
Where to get it
Considering if this can be strapped to my PFD while kayaking in case I get trapped
I have seen pro surfers using them, snorkelers and free divers use them as well. They were originally designed for military helicopter pilots that have water landings.
This would be really great to keep in my plane during over-watwr flights, just incase
Matthew Brooder Pressurized container would get confiscated
Yep no airports are allowing it thru
@@DerfOrNuffin He said "in my plane", if it's his own plane, of course he can bring this equipment.
How do you know the tank is full without air gauge
If you listened you would know idiot
Would be cool if it had a pressure gage just to be safe, i personally, wouldnt risk "diving" with this tank alone.
+Ahgii
You can buy that for it
It is available for about $35...
Can you use this if you want to snorkel
Can you use this if you want to
Can it be refilled with like a bycycle pump
Tell me please, how do you describe this tank from 1 to 10?
Thank you
69
Jk a 3
I like your videos keep it up 👍
Can it save your if you couldn't get out of a sinking ship, a tug bote fishing trawler or any other vessel.and how deep you can sink with it and still make it up without any diving training?
Thank you for a review
If the ship is still on the surface you'd get like 50 breaths. The deeper you are the less breaths due to air compression. I suppose it could be useful in a capsized ship situation but it would be better to just jump off the ship with a life jacket.
At 5ATM of pressure at depth you'd only get 10 breaths
U could probably make it up from 100 meters but if u hold your breath your lungs will explode
I have that same tank and I can stay underwater for 25 minutes @1m with 3k psi its made to be able to ascend from 100 ft relatively safely. Although I would never attempt it for fear of decompression, but it will get you to your partner at any depth in an emergency no problem.
jlc012 what’s it called
Finally someone with reason... I use mine for safety in a helicopter and seaplane as well as in cerin boat-oriented circumstances...
Can I use it für snorkling ?
Is it ok if i have the first "level"?
you need to throw that 6:45 disvlaimer in like all your vids man, good work
+Navraj Gill
Thanks, why? It's not needed as long as you don't breath under preasure
Where do you get the thread adapter for the bottle?
I really liked this video
Nice review! 👍

+Moggy YT
Det kan hende
If you're not going in water deeper than 10' max. How in anyway is this dangerous?????
Hello dear
Could you tell me what is your country.?
Could you tell me how long it can stay under water? And how deep?
Could you tell me how much is this product in your country?
Could you tell me how much if you send it to me here in Egypt - Cairo
Thanks for your help..
Have u seen badjao divers are they certified like you?
well im no diver, but if i read a load of books on it, could i use it?
nvm, i have no 300$ to spend on stuff
Well yeah you can but be careful
really nice review but what about decompression?????
St!ckZ or this having no kind of regulator
@@jennakatze5401 of course it has first and second stage built in. How do you think it goes from 3000psi/200bar to let you breath any any depth.
Kult at du er norsk!
Did you try to ascend to the surface from 40 metres using it as your sir source?
+IM35461
No.
What can I buy for fun?
because here in Brazil it does not have
These are not new. They were in use at least 20+ years ago for military helicopter crew over water. Designed to give enough air to get out of helo after a water crash as the helo is top heavy and will roll inverted shortly after submerging. Your not supposed to egress from fuselage until after the inversion to ensure there are no rotorblades to cut you short. They mounted directly on the chest of the crewmans flight rig. If you need one of these for coming from a deep dive, your gonna need hyperbaric treatment because they will not allow time for safety stops. They have to be hydro'd like any other high pressure tank and can be refilled if you have the correct adapters.
spare air has been around for 40y now
It’s worth the buy. It can save your life, plus you can go shallow water diving without the need for a harness and regulator. The Spare Air is only useful for fairly small depths. Let’s say you are at 20 meters, then you will have plenty of time to fix whatever mechanical issue you have. Or to go to the surface. Pretty neat if I say so myself
It can save your life and kill you aswell this thing needs a lot of knowledge and certification before using
Good Review!! :)
Rather buy a 7L Stage cylinder with an independent stage regulator. Its much safer as you have a pressure gauge and it carries waaaay more gas..
@@zaqxswcdevfrbgtqazws Redundancy has nothing to do with whether a diver is good or not.
@@zaqxswcdevfrbgtqazws let's see you do a 10 min ascent and deco stop with spare air...
Is it any good when using spear guns ?
In some countries like nz and others it is actually illegal to use any type of scuba while spearfishing
Dove si trova questo voglio comprarlo
Just extend your traditional snorkel by one metre....you will find that you cannot breath at all if you descend to say 1.2 metres....this is why this is so dangerous... this kit is using pressure feed air at depth ..and that air will expand again in your lungs as you ascend ...can be potentially fatal if you don`t know what you are doing ....( divers are trained in this knowledge )....with standard old fashioned mask and standard length snorkel / fins its easy to descend to six metres with a good technique on one lung full of air taken at sea level and have some fun ...and its cheaper :)
I was just on e bay & to let everyone know I saw three prices that wont break the bank for the spare air & they are 83 dollars, 89, dollars & 90 dollars but those are the only three the rest are 200 to 400 dollars just wanted to help out everyone no matter ur skill level underwater.
I'm new and subscribed on the first video great review 👍👍👍
>not meant as a toy
But which one was meant as a toy then? Pls. advise.
What googles do you use ?
i believe it is now been made into a toy. check out a company called "SCORKL" looks like the same thing as spare air with a high-pressure bike pump to refill it. let me know what you think of it. i see bad things in untrained divers future come june of 2018
Why shouldn’t I use it if I don’t have scuba diving training?
If you know about the bends then you can use it
I want one but it cost to much
Wait why are you not spose to use it in a pool
Because you'll dive
I really do want it but don’t have 300$ to spend like that
I am certified but regardless I would love to have one of these as a toy in the pool
It's not law
Norgee
I'm Norwegian too (:
Why is it not a toy? Why couldn't one use to swim in the sea or pool?
nice rewiev but isnt it too expensive? let me know what do you guys think about price please
Why can't this be used a for recreation?
It is safe only for certified divers. You breath in compressed air. People without proper training may get killed easily by using a spare air at 10 meters depth, if they hold their breath and start to ascend. The air under pressure in their lungs wants to expand as the surrounding pressure decreased while ascending. It will severely damage your lungs.
why cant i use it if im not an actual diver? id love to use it
You can use It, but It Is not recommended. Because there are some safety measures you may not know about If you did not take a diving course.
Well aren't you just a bundle of joy... if you were using this in the shallows for 3 minutes at a time and the whole dive is less than 15 feet, you will never have absorbed enough nitrogen to cause DCS, so a rapid ascent from 15 feet should not cause issues, so long as the whole dive has been less than 15 feet, on a DCS basis... now you can have a lung overexpansion injury in very shallow water if you hold your breath - so, don't hold your breath - if a rapid ascent is needed, remember to exhale the whole way...
This is not a great safety system. A 6cf pony bottle with O2 or Nitrox would be a much safer bailout. While 3 minutes of air is enough to reach the surface from quite deep (over 130 feet) that's not considering the increased density of the air at depth. What lasts 3 minutes at 30 feet will only last 2 at 60 feet, and so on. Also the fact that there is no way of securing the system while you are using it is troubling. If the piece got knocked out of your mouth, it's likely to float away before you have time to recover it where as a proper tank with regulator hose can be recovered. Also you won't be loosing $500 if it does fall out.
+Michael Peterson
O2 at the depths you are talking about will kill you for sure.
You should never breathe O2 deeper then 18ft.
Christian Wedoy my mistake, you're completely right there. Oxygen toxicity would kill you. I meant to say air but regardless.
I have it and its quite easy to take out, it also comes with an elastic lanyard so that doesn´t happen. Its also relatively neutral in terms of buoyancy it will sink, but not like a stone. Its meant as an independent backup, like if you were to blow a hose or a broken valve that would drain your tank in seconds. If you can afford it and do risky dives, its a good thing to have to get to your partner or assist someone.
It's still meant to be used in case of an emergency, not for the actuall recreative dive
Michael Peterson
If i were to use this as d only source for diving...how deep is my limit?and aso how long can i stay?
I just got scuba certified this month
Congratulations :)
Christian Wedoy thanks
I will play it
Great video
Where we can get it
+Shreesty Panthee
There is a link in the description
ok ok we get it it's not a toy dang bro
That looks heavy is it?
It is neutral in the water
Christian Wedoy Thanks
Where did u buy it please answer
PRO Dragon Balls ebay .
You can get them tlfor 8 pound
Does it last 10 minutes
Not even on land!
Very good video and great information
+jesus Cortez im glad you luke it
Prison break lol
Marcel Ahmed that what I thought
can you refill it with compressor without using scuba bottle???
CptSpeirs yes
But you need an adapter
CptSpeirs yes or a co2 bicycles pump
If you fill it with CO2 you're gonna die hahha
You must have a special compressor
Nice review!
+Tore Rimereit
Thanks
its 500 dallors and i dont have 5😭
I feel you :\
TheLegend 28 over priced
Just add 2 Zeros
TheLegend 28 I don't have 1!!! I have 3000
i don't have one dollar!
Why not use it for leisure? Is it fatal?
+RIXE
It does not last long. 3min +-
Christian Wedoy Yes, but if someone is enough, why not?
I myself have the PADI but I am thinking it would be fun to buy when I go on vacation and just want to have fun on the beach.
But I would buy the minidive pro (with the handpump) and not this one!
+RIXE
You can use it, i did in a video. But get one where you see how much air ypu have left
Christian Wedoy yes like the minidive
Man i would mainly use this in the pool 🏊 so if i had the money even if its not recommended would it be ok?
It can kill you from what I heard. Better to just use a snorkel
I think I want one
Nicholas Lapadat
It's only for licensed scuba divers
@@pizzasub3194 no it isnt
It is over priced
3:43 that looks so much like a vape 💨
dont vape
So you have no sexual activites i will be guessing.
Neither do you --(WIDOW MAKER)--
cade kotkiewicz don't vape it damages your health like smoking
Ruzzy-z do you even know what nicotine is it is what makes you addicted to it
You have only 1 minute whith air inn that bottle at 30 feet!!! Stay away from it too use it as backup life support when diving.
Better than no minutes if you need to get to a depth where you can ascend on a single breath.
I just watched a real-time video of a diver ascend from 75' at a normal ascent rate using the Spare Air 300.
Contact me after you take your diving license, then we can talk. Good luck.
@@Jonhenrysneip I've been diving since 1977. Or are you talking to someone else? For recreational diving depths, there is nothing wrong with this if you just want an emergency back-up to get to the surface. And that is all he is talking about.
Hey Chris, is it useful while spearfishing ?
Only if you are going to spearfish for 3 min
Christian Wedoy can't you take for example one breath every 1-2 mns so it lasts longer ? Thanks !
Great, with this you can run out of air twice on the same dive. No serious scuba diver would have one of these as backup. I personally carry a 30 cf pony tank and with it I'm sure I'll reach the surface safely from recreational limits. The spare air would only be good for those diving shallow reefs but if you are diving that shallow you could cesa safely anyway.
30cf is 1/3 of your typical main 80-100cf tank - which you are are supposed to go up way before you reach 500psi anyway. for rec dives that is way overkill and a lot of bulk. All you need is emergency to go up, not do a second dive... the size is the convenience and the drawback.
Obviously this video is made for professional, therefore I forgive you for not mention how we use this device in detail. As a pure amateur I will ask the question: how do you breathe out? Through the nose, or through the mouthpiece? Tell us how this work please.
You exhale out of your mouth back into the mouth piece, there is a check valve.

I would like to win a scuba tank
I've been looking for a device to help me explore the lake I live near I can't afford a scuba bottle and scuba equipment but I want to stay under the water for extended periods of time how much is a rebreather and is there any other way to do this in a relatively cheap manner
You can buy a hookah $450 battery or petrol.
Red_Devil used scuba gear costs the same as one of these, a rebreather is crazy expensive and very dangerous with high levels of needed, A hookah like the other commenter said is also probably a good idea for you
