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.

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.

Rating: A few good more breathes
Reviewer: Adam F., Sunday, July 12, 2009 - View all my reviews
so my ssi dealer does not rate these very highly, as he says too many people rely on them in their dive. his quote "three breaths and your dead." my opinion is that is three breaths more to attract your dive buddys attention and hopefully get their assistance. if you dont treat it as an alternative air source and just as an emergency option, i think you should be ok. i filled the tank from my regular tank as you are suppose to and i saw about a 400 lb in pressure in my regular tank, which meant that i needed to get that tank topped up. the spare-air full indicator is a little pin that is flush with its enclosure when full. id prefer a gauge. i wanted to know how many breaths i would get (even at sea level). i managed to get between 60 and 70 breaths just sitting around. i know this will reduced once at depth and i intend to experiment with this (dive-buddy present and my own regular air available). i found the regulator a little harder to breath with than my usual, but for what it is: an emergency reserve, i think anything that makes my dive safer cant be bad.

What I like most about this product, is that if a dive buddy is out of air and panics...you can hand this off and get away until he/she calms down. It could save you or someone else...so why not have one?

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.

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:  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: 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!

Rating: must have
Reviewer: Wallace K., Saturday, March 28, 2009 - View all my reviews
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
