Ways you can use a spare air tank other than as scuba redundancy

[elan]

you could always buy a Worthington HP130 (at 3442psi) steel tank to refill your spare air with

just think of the air fills you could get off of that?

I would skip that one a will just go straight to doubles

I was going to go undercut the scuba guy who charges three facilities here in town to scrape algae off the front glass pane of large aquatic fish displays

I'll do it for free just to have new scenery, first stop is river smith's for their huge 10ft by 10ft catfish aquarium, I know the guy from trying to sell him on displaying my palmtop/captive grown SPS coral reef aquariums ten years ago. he didn't buy, but he remembers me

That is a more fitting title I do think, its pretty much evolving to where I am going to use it other than how it was intended even orignally by myself, in the safest possible manner, to see what one can see...this thread is a discussion about unplanned variables and brainstorming I guess pretty good stuff considering it's helping me plan safety variables in this activity.

The main take aways in all these pages is depth and location. basic dive protocol is a given already, so if you use them to dive only shallow then you are exposed to the same entangulation risks a snorkeler might face, only now with a few minutes of backup air I guess, and the same very predictable ascension risks a diver would face...at depths that reduce the danger of hardware failure in any way. I am researching with you guys a blend of the two I was willing to pay for, and use in a really tweaked way to have safe fun in the context of people who breathe underwater for reacreational purposes...

I'd like to see a Spare Air Tank explode.

Wasn't there some TV show that did this at some point . . . I forget what it was called or how it ended. . .

Well now we're getting pretty serious..he's gonna need a deco bottle if he's going down for THAT long.

I personally still think he answer lies in the almighty hooka.
