Bicycle pump air tanks.

Why would you need to test more than one? The laws of physics don't change. Unless they are edited on YouTube.

To give you a idea take this video. Its almost at the end of it but he gets around 10min of use with it. With that said its one of the smaller bottles. Far more time then 2-3min of use

I also feel like this is all getting off topic from my original post on if this is going to increase scuba accidents and if you seen someone trying to use one would you speak up and off advice?

What are you going to say to them? Stop in the name of PADI law? Pull that tank over right now! And they are going to say (insert explicative and hand gestures) go away and mind to your own business.

I have several PCP air rifles and use a hand pump for occasion though I also have an electric compressor. I do not trust either for breathing air, there could be CO in the compressed air.

Its all about how you come up to them. Me personally id start off by asking them all about it. Get them talking first. Then you can bring up things like its bad to hold your breath when you come up and such. Ppl tend to be more willing to accept help when they feel like its a conversation.You can also recommend a dive shop as clearly they have a want for diving.

if this is going to increase scuba accidents

My opinion is no. It's essentially a paintball cylinder, which can already be filled without a cert card.

There could potentially be some accidents, but there is just not enough gas for anything other than AGE. Even certified divers have been known to panic and bolt, so I’m not sure how much training will eliminate the problem.

If I see someone using one, what happens will depend. If I know them, I will offer advice. If not, I most likely wouldn’t.

You can try that. You have clearly never met a New Yorker or a certain folk inhabiting the red dirt hills of the deep South.

Most likely they have no interest in SCUBA diving and it was an impulse purchase that will be tossed in the landfill with little thought. Have you actually seen anybody using them? Know anybody who has purchased one? I think you are getting worked up over nothing and again, it is not your business and they are breaking no laws. This is what Darwin awards are for.

if you think I am getting worked up you might want to go to bed as you are getting delusional. And I never once said they are braking laws. And for the “any ones business” part its called a conversation just because you are not capable of starting one dont mean every one is.

Not my video or anything, but I saw this a while ago and this thread reminded me of it.
