Rating: CRITICAL FOR SAFETY
Reviewer: Douglas P., - View all my reviews
Every diver should have a pony bottle and this size was easy to deal with, light and no hassles to carry on your rig. Absolutely no worries from TSA on 14 flights, I just took out the valve prior to packing into my luggage. Would you parachute without a reserve chute?

Reviewer: Alexander G., - View all my reviews
Absolutely a MUST have for any diver that dives below 40 to 60 ft!!! Already had to use it once. A dive partner had a leak in his equip and was out of air at 108ft! Great value and is perfect to come up from 100+ ft including a safety stop. Perfect price as well.

Great backup tank if you need to travel this is a great backup tank to take with you. This size gives you plenty of air time to arrive back to the surface safe.

Questions and Answers for Sherwood 13 Cubic Foot Aluminum Tank:
Freddy:
How long will a 13 cubic feet tank give me of breathing air?
Greg (Certified Scuba Instructor at Scuba.com)
:
Breathing time is dependent on your depth and experience. This tank should be used as an emergency back up supply to get you back to the surface.
TANKS & VALVES: Sherwood Valve
PRODUCT FEATURES The most used valve in diving. The critical link between your regulator and tank, our patented Sherwood valve was designed specifically to handle today’s high-performance regulators.
Aluminum Tanks Aluminum tanks are cost efficient, long lasting, and readily available, which is why they are easily the most common scuba diving tanks in the world. Lighter than steel tanks, aluminum dive tanks are easier to transport and swim with, giving your shoulders and arms a break on long treks.
Because of their light weight, some aluminum tanks will begin to float at the end of a dive, once the oxygen supply is nearly depleted. To combat this, it's common to counter-weight an aluminum dive tank with approximately 4 pounds. However, 'Compact Neutral' aluminum tanks are made with thicker walls, which increase the weight and help to counteract the positive buoyancy problems at the end of a long dive.
