At the risk of getting beat up here, allow me to make a case where Spare Air or equivalent might make sense. And no, I do not own the unit. Below are the very specific conditions I had in mind whereby it sounds reasonable to me. There may be others (e.g., buddy separation, etc.).
1. Solo, therefore it will serve as your redundancy (I know this sounds silly, but see #2)
2. Shallow (< 30' depending on your SAC rate)
3. In the event of an OOA, you will head to the surface immediately
Yes, anybody should be able to perform a CESA from at least some shallow depth, and if you are soloing and can't perform a CESA, well, then, I'm concerned. Anyhow, as for me, I would simply prefer to suck on this on the way up than do the CESA and the capacity seems enough (notwithstanding a few SAC calculations), given #2 and #3.
What say you?
