Spare Air

We'll likely never know - someone always reads them.

My advice? If you are more comfortable having a SA....get one and enjoy your dive....but play with it to understand its limits. Deploy it from 70 feet...60 feet....even deeper....you need to recognize the limits of this tool. I am an advocate of SA...but considerwhy you want it.

With 30 dives you don't have enough experience or understanding to recommend this tool.

A 18cf is not much more of a pain and it is enough gas to get you safe from depth.

This statement proves it.

If it gets you to the surface safely, it is worth it.

I keep my spare air tucked into the pocket on my jacket bc while solo diving in a cave with my split fins and an aluminum 80.

Better than keeping it tucked up your butt---ever try to suck anything out yo' crack???
