How Spare Air Works

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is 3.0 cu.ft. enough air for an emergency?A: Yes! At recreational depths (30-60 feet), the Spare Air 3.0 provides 30-60+ breaths - more than enough for a controlled ascent to the surface.
Q: How do I refill Spare Air?A: Simply attach the refill adapter to any scuba tank and fill to 3,000 PSI in about 30 seconds. We offer free fills for Divers Cove students and members!
Q: Can I use Spare Air for regular diving?A: Spare Air is designed as an emergency backup system, not a primary air source. Always dive with a full scuba tank as your primary air supply.
Q: How often should I service my Spare Air?A: We recommend annual service or after any emergency use. Regular inspection before each dive is essential.
Q: Will Spare Air work at depth?A: Yes! The balanced regulator delivers air at any recreational depth. However, breathing time decreases as depth increases due to higher air consumption.
Q: Is Spare Air allowed on commercial flights?A: Empty Spare Air cylinders are generally allowed in checked baggage. Always check with your airline and ensure the valve is completely open to show it's empty.
