Rating: spare air 1.7cu
Reviewer: KHAIRUL FAHMY PAIMIN,  - View all my reviews
Tested at 20m deep and it performed well. Manage to get 16 breath, enough to get to a buddy or surface. This item is psychological - you will feel better knowing its there. once mounted at the bcd, You need to put some Weight on the other side to trim yourself.

Rating: How much does your life cost?
Reviewer: Sergey S.,
When i bought Spare Air i was thinking only about safer diving - its true, not only safe but also easy and confident. But moreover if you (like me) live on a high appartment building - its your second chance in case of a fire rescue, especially of you feel a superhero inside, you can try to save not only your life, but the life of your neighbor. So recently i bought two more for my relatives at the 25th floor, just in case, that also made them to try diving (yeeha!).

Rating: Spare Air Pack 3.0
Reviewer: mateusz kwiatkowski,
If You value Your life that is a must have. Small enough to make it presence almost unnoticeable but big enough to give you 50 solid breaths. Comes with everything that is needed to use it and refill it. And what i like the most is that you fill it straight from your main tank, and the whole assembly, disassembly and filling take less than a minute (im using high pressure tank).

Rating: Peace of Mind
Reviewer: CINTIA C.,
I usually take diving trip vacations by myself or with my son, who doesnt dive yet, and therefore I usually dont have a buddy to dive with, but just dive with the group. I am also an underwater photographer and am often behind the whole group. I just returned from a trip to Roatan in March where I took my Spare Air and it gave me an incredible peace of mind knowing that I had a plan B right there and did not have to rely on strangers that were probably going to be quite far away if something went wrong with my air supply. That peace of mind made my dives a lot more enjoyable. Not to mention how easy it is to handle the Spair Air and to pack and transport it as well. I highly recommend it. :-)

Rating: Nx Spare Air
Reviewer: Mike Blumenthal,
great product...extremely well designed and very easy to use. worth every bit of the steep price tag in peace of mind. heavier straps and buckles on the holster would be a big improvement or add two ss/brass d-rings.

Rating: Safety and Spare Air
Reviewer: William Nuesse,
Spare Air works just as it is advertised. It is a completely independent tank and regulator capable of supplying enough air to get to the surface without making a free ascent. But, of courese practice free ascents and use spare air. I bought the larger tank #.0 cubic feet. It attaches to your BC or other straps, It is small enough to be out of the way. The usefulness would come in when a firsy stage malfunction occurrs or when you are totally out of air. If the first stage malfunctions it will affect your octopus and your primary regulator. The bottle can be rapidly detached in the event you needed to ditch your gear.If you are cave diving youd want a larger system maybe even doubles each rigged separately. This is great for dives to about 120 feet with no required decompression stops. It breaths easy at 60 feet and is a little restricted at 100 feet. I think the price is reasonable, the tank is aluminum and the regulator and refill aperture are fixed to the tank valve. There are no hoses.

Rating: Its the best life insurance for the money
Reviewer: dan a.,
The one time I needed a spare air I didnt have it. I was running low on air and my dive partners was no where to be found on a deep wreck dive. Ive had one every since. Ive never needed it but I am much more comfortable knowing its there. Its my second spare air- lost the 1st one because I forgot to bring the leash. the 1st one was 10+ years old and it never needed anything but scheduled maintenance. I think that says it all.

Have used the spair air for two years now and I will never dive without it again, even in the pool. So easy to use just shove it in your mouth. Our dive club has even incorporated it into the rescue diver training!!!

Rating: Excellent
Reviewer: Darren S.,  - View all my reviews
Great if used as emergency air And not as additional air. The regulator is not the greatest as it does take some effort to breath but its really not that bad its just a big contrast from my oceanic eos. You wont find a better price on one either... In Canada these retail for 450 so its a huge savings to buy one online.

Rating: Spare Air
Reviewer: Paul Nuccio,  - View all my reviews
This item was shipped promptly and had everything intact upon arrival. I have taken it with me on a few dives including a deep(75) and shallow(12)dive. Its not cumbersome and may save my life. The price was almost $100.00 less than in a local dive shop.

I hv question about differences between spare air 3.0 n 3.0 nitrox? is it worth money if I buy it when used underwater is it work properly

Bob (Certified Scuba Instructor at Scuba.com) :

The only difference is the Spare Air 3.0 Nitrox is cleaned for use with enriched air. Using enriched air with a device not serviced and approved for it can be dangerous.
