Hi Guys & Girls
I am new here and this is my first post, I will start it off by asking any member if they know if `` spare air ´´ emergency breather are illegal in any other country.
Here in Portugal they have made them illegal :shocked2: crazy law, and they justify it I believe on the fact that: due to the nature of a small breathing device being easy to conceal they `` MAY ´´ be used by spear fishers / snorkelers whilst hunting.....
I apreciate the fact that no doubt there are some people all over the world whom know not the meaning of code of conduct / ethics but I see no reason to penalize us honest divers, after all an emergency breather is a life saving device.
Does anybody know of similiar laws in other countries ? ?
