well.......i don't sell it, i'd never buy it and i'd never recommend it.

i'm curious and i like being informed. even if it is about useless things that potentially endanger your life. i believe it is even more important then to stay informed, so that i can draw conclusions on its limitations, based on its maximum performance.

Why?

because

<60 ft you don't need it. just do the CESA
>60 ft won't last for long anyway, just do the CESA

either way, it is pretty useless in my opinion, within my abilities.

I just called a friend from Tenn. and he has breathed from his spare air from 100ft. to the surface doing a some what normal ascent. He made it up in 1 min. and it lasted. Not everyone should try this though.

As they say.. the only thing two divers can agree upon, is what the third one is doing wrong. Funny how that happens .

Unless the false sense of security given by a spare air is more dangerous than having no additional air.

Which is my position.
