In regard to the Spare-Air . . .
It has no regulator, correct?
All it does is contain air that can be inhaled? Does it have an exhaust port?
Regardless from where the air comes, you must allow it to be expirated as you ascend to the surface. With a regulator you are constantly breathing in and out, therefore keeping the air that is in your lungs from expanding to the point of rupture.
I've never used a Spare-Air, but if one can inhale from it only, then at some point during your ascent, you must let the expanding air escape from your lungs or suffer the consequences!
