I second Nemrod's sentiments. I had one for about 5 years until it gave up the ghost on my last trip. I actually had mine integrated inline with my power inflation in addition to a separate octopus. It came with my BCD when I purchased it and I figured it couldn't hurt. It does work quite well for filling safety sausaged, SMDs, etc; takes up almost no space; and with a little practice if pretty easy to use U/W. It is a "positive" flow device that takes a bit of getting used to when breathing U/W but no problem once you get the hang of it. I would have never tried to pass it off to someone else but I wouldn't have hesitated to use it myself to get me to the surface.
