Questions about this item:
F H How long time of air does this have?
CHAD H The amount of time will depend on depth of course and you personal air consumtion rate. You should also realize, that your nromal airconsumption rate will most lielky only not be the case as this product is used for an emergency situation. That being said, you should be able to make a sfae asent from normal sport diving ranges with this product. There is a BIG however, to consider. I owned two of htese and returned them both as they both failed the first time they were in the water. I went to a pony bottle with an actual egulator. You can probablly bu a whole system for around $400. and I would recommend this over the Spare Air. I DO NOT rRECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT. Best of luck.
LUKE M As with any gas and cylinder it depends on several things:
1) Your physical and emotional condition. How much air are you consuming?
2) Depth
JEANNNETTE S just diving in lake looking for lost items ,depth probably no more than 30 feet, about 10 minutes. I would guess at depth, no more than 5 minutes. also note this is with someone that has pretty controlled underwater breathing. hope this helps.. it has been esp useful for those quick dives to look for a lost item (yacht club next door)
NIKOLAS K About 25 to 30 breaths at 20 feet!!
NEYLE J I've only used it in about 5 feet of water while lobstering and it ran out quicker than I thought it would. To its credit, I was exerting a good bit of effort chasing lobsters. However, I've always been a little nervous about how effective it would be in making an ascent from 100 feet. Another con is not being able to refill it from a tank of nitrox. Having said all of that, I would feel perfectly safe with the Spare Air 3000 in less than 50 feet. The readable pressure gauge is a must. The popup gauge is worthless.
MATTHEW D only a few minutes at most. Different people go through air at different speeds. I have used mine about 50 times now. It is great when boating if you want to do some free diving, and is a huge hit at pool parties. I keep it strapped to my tank on longer dives just in case, but it never replaces having a guy next to you with an octo.
RICHARD M fully charged I got 12 breaths at 35 to 45 feet
RICHARD A It depends upon your depth! At the surface (1 atmosphere) you should get between 45 and 50 full breaths. At 33 fsw, you'll get only half that amount. At 66 fsw you'll get only 1/3 of that. Now, assuming you are breathing as you are ascending, you'll have to guess. Bottom line: this "bail out" bottle could easily save your life in most out-of-gas situations to depths as much as 99 fsw if you are relaxed, don't panic, and take deep, long breaths upon your ascent. Many pro divers laugh at these so-called "bail out" bottles but, again, compared to nothing, they can make the difference between living or not. Like any other equipment, you need to give them great care and keep them in good condition. Also, TSA will allow them in your luggage providing you have emptied the bottle and the top/regulator is separated from the bottle. Also, the regulator portion needs to be checked and serviced like any other regulator.

Deron B Can the holster be attached to the body for snorkeling??
VIRGINIA C The short answer is yes.
The more involved answer is that the provided case basically just has two loops on the back that you can put belts or straps through. So with the correct stuff you can attach it to almost anything.
I very easily attached mine to both of the tank straps on my BC, so it sits along my main tank, easily within reach when I reach back for it. That was with no extra anything.
My wife attaches hers horizontally along her BC along her left hip (more or less). That needed one nylon webbing strap (I forget what it cost, because it was not expensive enough for me to care).
Overall I am very satisfied with the two of these that we purchased in 2007. We have had to have one seal replaced, for a grand total of $15. Which was because after it got filled it got left in the sun, and started to leak.
We fill them up on the first dive and leave them full till the last dive, and then break them down for travel home. They are easily maintained, and have given us no trouble.
If mine were to go missing today, I would order a new one tomorrow.
MARK V The Short answer is yes. On the back of the holster there are two loops that are adjustable and have fast release clips. Hope that helps. Dive safe.
Deron B Why would you be against it?? It seems like an excellent idea. Getting an extra breath? Whats the harm in that??
JASON C The holder will work with a belt but I would strongly advise against using the spare air for snorkeling. Please consult your local dive shop instructor for further guidance.
Shopper What do they require in terms maintenance?
LeisurePro S Spare Air is recommended to be serviced annually and hydrostatically tested every five years.
Shopper Do you have the small version as well ?
LeisurePro S Yep, here is the smaller version.
Shopper do you sell the travel pack for the spare air?
LeisurePro S Sorry, not at this time.
Shopper Where and how do most people attach this to themselves when they dive?
LeisurePro S The kit comes with a holster and leash that most people just clip onto a spare D-ring on their BC in a convenient, out of the way spot. There is no right or wrong place to put it.
Shopper what can i buy that will refill my spare air when it gets empty ?
LeisurePro S Comes with a fill adaptor that will fit over a tank.
Shopper I need to get some advice...I am a career firefighter/ swift water rescue swimmer. I am looking at attaching a spare air to my gear, for the purpose of safety. We are constantly faced with the dangers of low head dams, strainers and frouning holes that can fataly entrap us. What would be your opinion of using this spare air device as a safety system, to allow time for us to become un-entrapped? How durable are these devices and do you think they would hold up in a swift water rescue situation?
LeisurePro S The spare are is a fully redundant system which can be very helpful if you become stuck, provided of course that you can get to your spare air. The only real down side that these pose is that they are an extra peice of gear attached to you and that they only provide 3 CF of air. Another larger alternative would be http://www.leisurepro.com/Prod/H2EASYP.html">H2Odyssey Extra Air Source, both items will hold up well provided that they are cared for properly.
Shopper How big is the Spare Air 3000 3.0 tank, how much does it weigh, can a person just breathe off of it or does one need a regulator (why the valve accessory)?
LeisurePro S The Spare air is about 14" tall and weighs 4 lbs. Once it is filled all you have to do is place it in your mouth to breathe, it has a regulator included. The valve accessory that is included is for filling off of a standard scuba system.
Shopper About how many breaths of air will 3.0 cft. give you?
LeisurePro S Spare air calls it a "safe ascent from 100 feet" Of course the amount of breaths will change given the specific diver and how deep they are.
