Mine was purchased with only 6 dives. No problems to date with multiple uses in practice scenarios. I recommend if a person is comfortable with a certain piece of equipment get it and practice with it

oh ok ... lol
thanks for clearing me up ...
i do want to thieve this thread for a spell however and ask the users of the air2s a question ...
it seems like most of you say it "can work" but than follow it up with something like (but not as good as my poseidons) ...
so here is my question ... do you recommend them for a new diver who is only beginning to get a grasp on ascents?
personal preference aside, if you´re going to be using an air2, bugied octo, or a can of farts as a safe second, be sure that your buddy knows what the deal is... if your buddy runs out of air, and is not aware that you have the air2, it could turn really ugly really fast...
It doesn't matter if the buddy knows you have an Air-2. The Air-2 isn't donated, it's used by the current occupant of the BC.
The buddy gets the primary.
