Hi guys,
I come to you for some help on a project / idea of Christmas gift for my girlfriend who by the way has her diving certificate.
First saw the Scorkl, spare air which I discovered here & else that's not the best... I'm therefore headind to an alternative which is still not too expensive & still somehow compact and easy enough for me to carry 2 systems by myself (My girlfriend has muscles issues) & for travel to some extent. This wouldn't be for dive lower than 10m of course. More 5-8m max I guess.
I'm currently balancing between:
A) A "complete system" like the Mantus mini dive system (are there others...?):
Mantus Scuba Pack - Mantus Marine
B) A "custom" system where I need much help...
I'm currently looking at :
1B) A metal Pony tank of 300 bar of 2 or 3 liters (maybe 4L...)

-Is is easier to find places to refill at 300 bars those days...?? (Is there a list of counties about that?)
-is it bad to fill at 200 bar in last resort or should i really choose a 200 bar alluminum tank...?
2B) Regulator/octopus kit here I'm pretty lost even after some research... found some kit that looks good value for the money...?

Is it really better to get a "Ventura"/"vortex" regulator if we'll don't dive deep with such system?
(On the other side this system could actually become a real secondary security as it is its usual purpose)
If you have any recommendations for the rest (valve,regulator,octopus and anything i may be forgetting) it would be greatly appreciated!
