Rating: Spare Air
Reviewer: Jody Bullock, Tuesday, June 30, 2009
Recently purchased the spare air and took it out on my last dive to test. It worked great! I really dont know what why someone would dive without one, if nothing else just for the comfort of knowing its there.

Rating: Yellow 1.7CF Spare Air Pack
Reviewer: Robert Talley, Thursday, May 07, 2009 - View all my reviews
The product has a simple compact design and sturdy construction and is easy to carry as an emergency air supply for scuba diving, boating, or general aviation over open water. The bright yellow color makes it easier to see underwater and the air volume is enough to gain control of a surprise emergency while submerged. The one drawback is that the large purge button on top of the regulator is unprotected and can accidentally get pressed releasing some of the backup air.

Rating: Spare Air (Jeff Turley)
Reviewer: Jeff Turley, Saturday, June 13, 2009
This product has exceeded my expectations. The engineering and manufacture appears to be flawless. Although weve not had to use the product in an emergency, we have tested this device to about 55 feet and found that it would definately be a lifesaver in an emergency. Ive recommended the spare air to friends to dive and plan on purchasing several more in the future for my sons.

Rating: Safer With Spare Air
Reviewer: daniel l., Friday, May 01, 2009
I love this product! I put it on my BCD so If i need air, its right there. Its easy to see because its so bright and easy to open quickly, thanks to the D-ring on the cover, and it has a really easy demand valve so you can breathe really relaxed, it fills from any tank, One thing, make sure you purge it really good! I sucked in a bit of water on its maiden voyage. All things said Its a great piece of gear, Id reccomend it to any and all divers!

Do you really have time to swim over to your buddy for air if you are out. If your first stage regulator fails your octopus wont work. I considered a pony bottle with both a first and second stage regulator, but picked the 3.0 cf bottle because it was compact.
seems to be high quality and it works fine

Although I like the convenience and light weight of the Spare Air, I have to remember that it only gives me a few minutes and not to be used in 80-100 ft dives. I gives me comfort that I have it and it does give me time to find my buddy should anything happen.

Rating: Fun and useful
Reviewer: James McGrath, Thursday, February 19, 2009 - View all my reviews
Its great knowing you have a back up and its so easy to use. Went to hawaii and took it on the plane had no problems just unscrewd the top and put it in my carry on. Its also fun to use when snorkling if you want a bit of bottom time.

Reviewer: Russell Heizer, Tuesday, February 17, 2009 
Spare Air has developed a great self rescue product for recreational divers. The 3.0 cf unit is small enough that it can be mounted almost any where on your BCD or even upside down on your tank bands. The unit allows you to be independent, not needing to rely on a buddy being close by. It also allows you to provide an independent air supply to a buddy if necessary. Spare Air can also serve as an insurance policy for divers who often dive alone. I highly recommend the optional pressure gauge which allows you to check the tank pressure at a glance. Thanks again Scuba.Com for another great product.

Rating: Spare Air 1.7
Reviewer: Ara G., Tuesday, February 17, 2009 - View all my reviews
Dont leave home without it !
Im an offshore helicopter pilot in the Gulf of Mexico- if youll ever be in a situation where its needed, the cost is negligable- plus, it fits in my switlik floatation vest just fine.
I Highly recommended the Spare Air 1.7****
