Ok Ladies and Gentelmen….. I am one of the people that puts their ass on the line when you get into trouble…. I'm one of the guys that goes to our house to tell your loved ones that you won't be coming home anymore…. I train Dive Rescue Specialists around the world, I teach the Underwater Investigators to determine how and why you died. Let me share a little info with you…. when S*%t hits the fan you don't have enough air, and anything you bring with you may save your life. How many of you still use a "J" valve??? We do…. why…. because it is an extra 500 Lbs of air id used right….. we also have a Pony tank as a redundant air source….. some of us carry a "Spair Air"…. this is no different, as a matter if fact it is less on an entaglement problem if it is tucked under my BC, and it is right there in front of my mouth if I need it. I stopped counting dead bodies at 200….. I don't care how good we think we are, or how good we think our dive buddies are we can all die in the water. Remember "Plan your dive, and dive your plan"….. I was not aware of this device…. so thank you for sharing

Best idea out of the uses, in my opinion.

That crossed my mind, as well; especially seeing as the niche it is aiming at is already filled.

Just as a wee suggestion. Free divers could find this very interesting – somtimes one stays a wee bit too long because of the temptation of a crayfish etc. Sometimes the surface is a very long way. Even if a just a couple of breaths were used, this could go a very long way. Extra air to supplement your highly compressed lungs, or that of your free dive “buddy” in a tight situation is certainly a good idea. In these situations sometimes its about helping the person your with, not yourself. This is as per avalanche tranceivers when skiing backcountry; if you don’t have one, you can’t save those you are with. Just some thoughts.
