Spare Air saved my life...
"This Spare Air system has saved my life. I have logged over 9,000 dives and I have never experienced a complete failure of my measurement system. The Spare Air system gave me enough air to swim to my buddy and locate, secure and breathe from his second stage with alternative air sources. I hope I will never have another complete failure of my life support system while diving, but it is good to know that my Spare Air unit is always there for me when I need it!"
Capt Bruce Besser, PADI Master Instructor, Beach Divers Hawaii
"I thought I had enough air at the start of the climb, but more time passed than expected. The SPARE AIR saved my life! "
Ron Milam, Missoula MT
"As an instructor, I have a sense of security because I know I have my Spare Air. Without it, I don't go into the water. It gives you the control to make that climb. My dive masters use it, I use it, my students use it. I feel comfortable with the fact that it's always there."
Dave Martinache, Lakewood, CO
"The Spare Air prevented a difficult situation from becoming a tragedy. The convenience and reliability of the Spare Air has indeed proved to me."
Richard Theiss, Arcadia, CA
"I probably could have got free without the Spare Air, but I'm glad I didn't have to find out."
Jeff Hampsten, H&H Dive & Travel, Pocatello, ID
"This is to inform you that your SPARE AIR has saved another one. At 4 metres I could probably have surfaced without any breathing air, but owning an emergency support kept me from panicking. Bottom line, I got my investment back in a few minutes. Thank you so much!"
Ernie Miller, Baton Rouge, LA
"At about 24 metres, my regulator started breathing very hard. I switched to my Spare Air and continued my ascent without hesitation. You can rest assured that I will never dive without this device - I consider it a must! "
Richard Bass
"While diving in Aruba, I got a newly serviced tank. Someone had used the wrong size O-ring for the valve. The result was that after a few minutes, and at 95′, the O-ring blew and emptied my tank within seconds. The young lady I was asked to supervise by the local school did not have an octopus and was on her third dive! So I had to rely completely on my SPARE AIR."
Frits A. Louw, the Netherlands
"I apparently had a malfunction in my equipment and so I had to use the SPARE AIR in an emergency situation. To this day, I don't know what happened, but I strongly believe in the SPARE AIR. I have carried a SPARE AIR with me for two years as standard equipment, but this is the first time I had to use it in an emergency situation. If I only had an Octopus, I have often wondered what would have happened. If you only have a few seconds to react because of a situation out of breath, no questions asked, you should have a SPARE AIR at your fingertips so you don't have to think twice about what to do."
Joyce Ripley, Yuba City, CA
"I had just started going to the surface and my dive computer indicated that I should slow down my descent. At that moment, I felt myself taking air out of the tank for the last time. It was empty, I was at 23 metres and my dive buddy was nowhere to be seen. I grabbed my Spare Air and breathed the sweetest breath in 36 years. By the time I reached the surface, that Spare Air was empty and I am convinced I could not have come up with it without the edge this product gave me. "
David F., New York
"I went on the boat without checking the rental tank. I did not have a full tank of air and ended up with no air at 18 metres. I signalled to my dive buddy that my air had run out, he didn't know what it was and he didn't have an octopus either. So I did what any safety-minded diver would do. I just reached for my BC and pulled out my Spare Air and made a safe climb. Thanks Spare Air!"
Arthur Cleve Barnes, PADI Divemaster, Panama City, FL
"Your system may not give a diver exactly the same breathing comfort as a two-stage regulator, but at 24 metres, you won't hear me complain . My regulator is currently being checked in the shop. Even before I bought Spare Air, I recognised it as a life-saving device that is much more flexible than having a spare regulator on your tank."
John Tuckish, Washington DC
"I have to share my experience with you. I am a newly certified diver. I went to Cozumel with friends; during my 8th dive, I had a tank failure at about 9 metres. No air and my dive buddy wasn't paying attention to me. So I threw away weights, pulled out Spare Air and made an easy climb to the surface. All my dive buddies plan to take Spare Air's prior to our next trip."
