The Spare Air 300 Package is a self contained, refillable cylinder designed as a total redundant back up miniature scuba system. Small, hands-free and nearly neutrally buoyant.
In Case of Emergency, Spare Air provides a completley independant air supply to safely get you or your buddy back to the surface.
Deluxe Holster keeps your Spare Air close-to-hand in case of an out of air emergency. leash and A-Clamp refill adaptor.
Neon Yellow Tank finish for safety and enhanced visability in poor conditions.
Built-In Breathe on Demand regulator with no complicated instructions allows for quick and easy access to the redundant air supply in stressful conditions.
Quicker and Easier than buddy breathing or an octopus as the out of air diver has their own independant air supply without the need for any hoses that can become entangled. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
one of the best inventions ever. for anyone who has a yacht or boat with cabin, keep one next to your bed in case of rapid sinking.
😂
This is some of the best advice that I've ever read for mariners!
Not only keeping one next to your bed whilst sleeping, but keeping your Ditch Bag next to the bed also.
The sailor Steve Callahan awoke to find his yacht cabin rapidly filling with water and he barely had enough time to grab his Ditch Bag from next to his bed and escspe his sinking yacht.
He suspected that his yacht had been struck by a whale and he then spent the next 76 days adrift in his emergency liferaft before being rescued.
Had he not immediately escaped with his Ditch Bag he would still be with his yacht on the seabed!
Spare Air tanks have saved the lived of thousands of people including divers, kayakers and helicopter crews in marine incidents, and the knowledge that you have an immediate oxygen supply can also quash rising panic and fear!
When a single intake of breath is all it may take to survive an underwater emergency, having considerably more than that is an absolute godsend!
How do you know when it’s full when charging
When you stop hearing air flow. Since the fill adapter is not regulated, both tanks will equalize to the same pressure pretty quickly.
There is a little plastic white pin that pops out of a brass button to show when the tank is loaded.
You can also purchase a small pressure gauge.
So what should i have this filled with? Straight Oxygen or the nitrogen/Oxygen mix?
Air
Can anyone tell me what kind of air I should fill in it.. ?
yes with air from a SCUBA air from a reputable source but if you are not trained no do not fill it with anything
Carbon monoxyde

How much time at 12 foot 3 breaths. Or 4
Bayard Taylor and average adult gets about 56 - 64 breaths
@@unkilledpaintball9537 so if you hold each breath 30 seconds, this tank would last about 30 minutes?
@@XER239 You should never hold you breath while breathing compressed air. it could cause an air embolism or lung damage.
Can you load it with a bike pump?
you can, but you should pump for 25 minutes, there are small compressors for this
A bike pump won’t do it. Don’t listen to that dude he’s trippin. They aren’t nearly rated for such high pressures even if u could get or put together an adapter to fill it that way.
Though their are some high pressure bike like pumps u can fill it with in that manor pumping by hand. I’m not sure yould ever actually reach the 3,000psi and if you can get it up that high you’ll be pumping your ass off. And really the pumps should have driers inline somewhere like the pumps to dry the air your putting into it.
Best thing to do is get yourself a everyday run of the mill scuba tank the full size with one just some cheap tank. They will or may stick a sticker on it that says not for diving. But that’s only to put on there so other places won’t fill it without scuba credentials. But will fill it since it’s not being dived with. And fill your SpareAir tank off of that.
Least that’s how it went for me. But I don’t dive with it like you would think. I have a pool leak detection company an it’s just used for 4-6foot to go down an unscrew drains ect an put back on and what not. I wouldn’t personally go deeper than that not being certified. I’m sure it don’t take much to f**k yourself up not knowing the ends an outs.
Even than I still make sure I breathe the whole time an let it out coming up.
And it may not even make a difference an 4-6 foot but shy chance something so easy to do
3 breaths till death
clearly you never used one.
Actually, there's about three minutes of oxygen, as proved by an underwater swimmer on TH-cam that managed to swim for 100 meteres before surfacing.
Clearly, less physical exertion may extend one's time, but three minutes would hopefully allow one to safely escape a sinking vessel or helicopter, and knowing that one has an immediate oxygen supply will probably keep an individual from panicking and lessen their fear too.
Even if it was just three breaths, provided that enabled a successful self rescue why would that be a problem?
I have never used one as it is not fit for purpose as an emergency air source for diving at 30 meters there is not enough air to get you to the surface safely I use a 3L 300 bar pony
@@JohnB3000 sir you are wrong..I used one many times for fun on an ascent. from as deep as 100 feet. but thats not the point.....................the point is you havent used one.
@@JohnB3000 Isn't it both logical and sensible to not actually use a piece of potential lifesaving equipment if it is not actually compatible with your chosen activities?
can i fill this with an hand pump?
I'm Adrian good question
I'm Adrian no! Never use hand pump. You may toxic the air.
james carel but i buy 1 if mini dive and its only with a hand pump ir compressor
How could the air be toxic?? its air .-.
Willow Graal obviously you have not done you're open water no offence
I've never heard of anyone putting one into practice. Anyone here ever used one?
I'm guessing they don't live to tell the tale :/
I've used one to make a quick check of the bottom during lobster season to avoid putting all my scuba on and find nothing there. They work great. I can easily get about 5 minutes of air.
I travel with one and use it in most destinations
I believe that the inventor has a list on his website of people whom have written in to give the details in which his invention had saved their life!
There can be no greater testament to the excellence of the device to have a letter like that, though I believe that the number runs into the thousands!
Used to own a Spare Air. Got rid of it. No use IMHO when you're deeper than 100 feet / 30m.
Can I use this to go snorkeling
yea sure you can go diving with this too but you habe limited air supply
Yes. And take a barbell set with you for added fun.
Yup it’s me Mikey no
Yup it’s me Mikey you will get dcs if to take a breath under water pressure and on the way up you lungs will cover expand
But its SPARE air
You can take about 60 breaths in it
Robbie McGill I can't wait for the moment it happens to you! Even the best and most intelligent divers get killed every year from making basic mistakes. People are human and it CAN happen to you too
I start heading up at 500 psi for safety precautions. I think its bad to risk it. Also don't regulators not give enough air at 225 psi? I think you would notice getting less air per breath.
Robbie McGill see this is perfect for me. I'm a pilot and do lots of water crossings.... if I ever end up in the drink, whilst I've done ditching and evacuation training, something like this just buys more time to orientate myself, and then escape. So maybe it's intended purpose for divers is not ideal, but don't just junk the idea totally.
It could just give you 60 seconds of air if you fly through the window of the airplane underwater to 30 ft probably if your alive. Oh yea your lungs can pop if you stop using it under water or if it runs out while surfacing you could be really fucked.
good to know ! Most likely scenario is that the aircraft ends up, upside down - it takes a while to sink, unless you've really messed up the water landing! That said - an extra 60 seconds from less than 10 feet under, i'll take as a risk mitigation - not elimination.
I'm not a diver - so forgive my lack of appreciation of underwater pressure etc - based on your experience - and my specific scenario highlighted, is there anything you would recommend as a better, safer fit?
Will this kill me
Fernando_980 without proper training yes this can kill you..
Yes. With any luck it will.
outbackeddie u should tie a few cinder blocks to yourself. Your seem sour because people are asking about it An haven't been certified An haven't spent the money you did. If them people want to go 10-15 foot down for a very short time An know to expel the air on the way up is their business. Of if they get hurt is their business. Maybe u failed your cert an your ass is bitter.
No, not if used correctly, whereas the lack of an air supply may prove fatal!
Edited to correct oxygen to air.
@@felixcat9318 divers use air
Why do they even make it? The amount of air in it is barely enough...
+Talih Samer Talih (Good Living) Can be the difference between an emergency descent and having a little bit of time to decomp.
+Monster Fitness (Good Living) best feature is that you dont need two regs (1st/2nd) just the unit with the reg on top. and if you think it doesnt have much air..try controlling it with your fingers using the purge valve.....will give twice the air in a more controlled flow.
Could this be good for free diving,in underground pool
You can purchase multiple if you want
Michael Aspinwall No No no! If you don't exhale properly on the way up you will die pretty easily.
