Can you take a filled spare air on a plane? Hardly so what benefit does a spare air give you with regard to air travel?

It's really easy to refill a Spare Air from a regular sized tank.

I think you oversold on the title of the thread. I was looking forward to something REALLY juicy!!!! Like backplate/wing stuff!!!

deeper dives to explore the shallows,

Personally I do shallower dives to explore the depths

I see. Never used one before.

We always do a shore dive first when going on vacation and we fill our SA off of that tank. We are always shallow and just testing weighting and equipment so the slight loss of air in the tank makes no difference.

A fan of the spare air uses almost the same argument as the detractors.

I’m not taking either side, just found it amusing.

You know what could be cheaper than a spare air? Diving with a can of compressed dust blast! No pesky hydros or refills!

Yes, i'm kidding. I know it's not breathing air but something else.

Not much in one. Any thoughts of use to actually do something are silly. They are for a few breaths in an OOA emergency.

Because you can fill it with a pump then you can skip the inspection after getting it back from the airport ? (Don’t know if it is sensible to do that)

It’s not. I remember @herman posting this video a while ago in Yet another ingenious UW breathing device.
