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.

OK, its very James Bond, but the ‘5 minutes of air’ is completely unqualified – 5 minutes at what flow rate, at what depth and at what temperature? 5 minutes of surface air supply is not 5 minutes of air at 30m.

The Spare Air mentioned above also suffers from this flaw selling on the basis of containing 3 minutes of air.

Without knowing the full specifications of the units a panicked, stressed or over-exerted diver would probably get around 3 breaths from either of these devices if they started at depth.

Also there is the question of ‘pressure vessel’ testing requirements in the same way as diving cylinders are required to be visually and hydrostatically tested.

I agree that it could be a brilliant accessory for surfers, or also for emergency escape situations on helicopters for example.

For divers there’s no substitute for a buddy, AND if your diving requires it – a pony cylinder of at least 3ltrs at 232Bar.

umm… this ‘proper device’ that you suggest actually exists.. its called a DIVE COMPUTER (for the tech savvy) or for us old-school divers, a plain old, proven-technology AIR GAUGE.. well that and common sense really

[...] Ricardo Baiao has come out with this innovative emergency oxygen pack ‘Phantom’ designed specifically for divers. The Phantom is designed to be fixed to the front of a wetsuit, providing divers with 5 minutes of air supply in case they’re running out of air. Unfortunately, it’s just a concept at this stage, but I like the idea! [YANKO] [...]
