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)?
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.
About how many breaths of air will 3.0 cft. give you?
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.
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?
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.
what can i buy that will refill my spare air when it gets empty ?
Comes with a fill adaptor that will fit over a tank.
Where and how do most people attach this to themselves when they dive?
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.
do you sell the travel pack for the spare air?
Sorry, not at this time.
