alright, i get what u said now u were asking what size spare tank to get, right?

MAN I MIGHT GET THE SPARE AIRjust fro skin diving. thanks for the pic i always assumed you had to attach any spare air source to the main tank.

Helium makes more sense.
It makes you sound funny too. Kinda like a munchkin.
DOes anyone take underwater PICS when they dive? Off topic but curious. I know there are a few divers on these threads but I don't remember seeing any Pictures.

dont sum ppl use 100 % oxygen for decompression???

i might get my solodiver course so i rather spend a little xtra to get the bottle wit a reg, it would prob be about200-300 dollars

spare airs i think are really only good enough for like 3 min wit me cause im a big guy and i suck air out quickly

also have ne u gone spearfishing, if so wut is the difference between a pneumatic and a band gun besides the fact that one uses air and the other uses bands

Spare Airs are good for one thing...
You know how they say just before you die, you see your whole life flash before your eyes? Well the Spare Air will allow you to get past the teenage years before you die.
I use a 30 on any dive over +/- 80 feet. Call me paranoid, but I would rather have an independent air source that can get me to the surface AND a safety stop, rather than a couple puffs at 3atm.

same here and espcially for wreck dives, also how big is a 30
