I should buy it and show up on the boat with my SCUBAPRo Mk1 (1 LP port - who could need more?) 30 year old Jet Fins, a Mike Nelson mask, a fire-extinguisher tank on a rope, a stiff-as-a-board duct-taped wetsuit with a worn out crotch, and start asking "Who wants to be my buddy?"

I used one for several years when nothing else really was available. It looks similar although mine might even been smaller. It is nostalgic, still I wouldn't want to use one today.

Rocket ride with an 8 g cartridge? Won't happen at least not if you are very deep. It had minimal flotation even at the surface hence my advice to leave this one in the past. It was an early effort at inflatable personal flotation. Lots of people didn't use anything for some years.
I recall one MD who came up with a open bottomed cylinder he mounted on his tank in those years. He would put air into it using his regulator and bend forward to dump air. Primitive but effective to a limited degree. The early days.
Here is a shot of me using it in 1975, so I used it from 1971 until 1976 when I got my first horse collar BC. As folks have said it was more for surface use if at all.

I used one of those for snorkeling. My short gray UDT vest was for scuba! I liked the short length of the UDT vest and the quality was better. I'm not sure but the CO2 cartridge may have been a little bigger?
