Features & Benefits:
 Allows
for minimal interaction with your diving buddy. SPARE AIR has been proven to be
faster than buddy breathing and easier than an octopus. SPARE AIR is the answer
in out-of-air emergencies.
Simply
pull SPARE AIR from your BC, insert the mouthpiece and breathe. No knobs to
twist, no buttons to push. Just life giving air. SPARE AIR is compact and nearly
neutrally buoyant.
SPARE
AIR is available in four models: the standard model 300 for recreational divers,
model 300-Nitrox for those diving with Nitrox, model 600-Twin with two cylinders
for those who dive deeper, and the smallest version, model 170 for instructors
and shallow depths.
