    Mate just breath out when going up. Pretty simple. Decompression sickness on this little tank is physically impossible.

    Probably going to order one and carry as a backup during dives.

      I go with either the 1 L or 2 L as a back up, I have videos for both

    Why professional 80 cu feet tanks divers always bash on these little tanks. Bringing fear to people. Its common sense that these tanks are made for shallooooooow DIVIIIIIIING. Not to exceed 10 meters at most. I have been using Smaco 1 liter tank and i have not encountered problems. I am not a Padi certified,, but i am not a dumbass either. I have educated myself when it comes to the Boyle's law. And how depth stages affects the air availability. If people read the manufacture instructions and respect the dive common rules. A safe ( Shallow) Dive can be accomplished. Knowing to train for a good, controlled breathing..Equalize your ears. Not holding your breath and not to asscend faster than the bubbIes.I can also Dive with 2 1liter tanks with their own regulators, and ejoy a 25 mins Dive. Again,, at a safe depth. Enjoying fish, picking up trash, looking at reefs. And always monitoring the are gauge. Making the ascend at the proper Psi reading. The Smaco 1 liter, are light enough,, that even 3 tanks can be carried. Just design body clips that hold the 2nd stage, and easy to snap on and off, when needed. 2 tanks to dive. 1 tank to ascend. I get about 17 mins per tank. At safe deph, that will not affect the air in the tank. Being 10- 15 ft is enough for me. Plus i dont need to spend money on a dive shop. I have a small compressor with an air filtration system. Which removes oil, water and also cleans the air, before going into the tank. And the statement about aluminum dust.. is a little exagerated. All tanks will have some type of residue,, come on. Even the big boys tou buy or rent. They are metal. Even the Carbon fiber ones. Plus Why someone,,would be disconnecting the 1stage off the tanks. I dont mess with that, Unless an issue is noticed and is taken off to be replaced. And as far as my compressor. I am using a Non toxic, Bio Based, Biodegradable lubricant. And when i bought it new, i ran it and changed the oil several times. To clear any light factory oil, that is added just to keep the pump loose. So far i have not encountered issues. On either operation and health. Is matter of educating yourself before getting into it. Skidiving is worst, and can be safely too. Is matter of inspecting the equipment throughly, before repacking. And do it right.

      MLB THE SHOW19.Broadcast well.. I’m glad you decided to write a dissertation showing that you can and probably did read a Wikipedia page. Awesome. I, and I’m sure several others understand that these are meant for shallow water.
      However, it states it nowhere. Not in the manual, websites, or even Amazon. So literally you are wasting time writing when no one will read what you wrote.
      PEOPLE, ignore this and watch the video

      @@allthingsrandom8137 Yes it is. And it has a regulator with its hose. So the user dont need to hang it in their mouth and drop it by mistake lol. The 1 liter 2nd stage regulator, it is not a heavy duty. But performs well for the cost. I keep them clean too. And i have always encourage my viewers that use this, or that have ordered one. To use tefflon tape in all connections. To keep it tight. The 1 liter is a great unit for the value. My Black tank, cost me $349 by luck. I catched a sales day, thay came with the manual pump. But i had a compressor ordered, and arrived a day before my tank. Dive portable lungs sells their kit at a switching rate of $695, $795 and i saw it once over 8 hundred. Insane. When the smaco s400 with carry case is 289. Mine with no carry case, just the body pouch and the whole tank kit,, was $199,, zero tax. I give kuddos to smaco for their professional way to pack their kits too. With that nice molded foam. Mine had double box. Dive portable lungs seller.. ship their tanks in an USPS prepaid box. With the pump, all items loose inside the box. No bubble wrap,,, nothing. No QC control when it comes to packing. And customer service sucks. Is literally a business managed by using facebook messenger or IG messenger. Like with 1 guy responding questions, whenever he feels like responding. Smaco is more professional in craftmanship and their website is cool too. But i encourage you to dig into the diveportable lungs tank or customer service. And u will see the poor response. There is not even new content and only a few people as myself. Has shown and used Dive lungs tank.. through youtube. I've had a few air leaks issues that i've had to fix myself. The neck of the black tank.( whole Top assembly ) is made of cheap ass aluminum. That u cannot over tight the hose threat into it. Or will strip. The inner thread from the tank top, it is not that deep.

      @@allthingsrandom8137 I just read what he wrote actually and I think he speaks sense. Even though he is not qualified he has still done the research in to expanding gas and safely ascending etc. And even made sure that his compressed air is clean. I think you are being a bit flippant when you say he read a Wikipedia page. I think this is a great product and I'm going to buy one (I'm PADI advanced open water certified 150 dives) I shall probably dive to 3-8m and then ascend slowly whilst blowing bubbles. The only thing wrong with it is that they don't specify that in the manual. It should be written in large red letters 'Don't dive beyond x meters and ascend slowly whilst exhaling' and then an explanation as to why that would be dangerous. And maybe some other facts about dive safety too. Like always dive with a buddy, never dive if you have a cold and your nose is blocked which could cause a reverse block on ascending etc. On the other hand I think that the first thing anyone who is thinking of buying one of these would do is look at some reviews on Google or RUclips. And what would they find? Warning, scam, death trap etc. So I'm sure anyone who buys one will have come across the potential dangers. Great product, just use it wisely. Enjoy your diving MLB-LIVE

      Don't even use that hand pump, the filter is not going to stop particles of oil getting in the tank. At least buy a proper high pressure filter.

      Grubby Chubby Fishing funny you should ask. Depends. But I actually just did two more reviews on the .5 and 1l tanks yesterday to be released this week. The short answer is as long as you remember to continually breathe as you go to the surface then you’re fine. When breathing any compressed air at any depth, you cannot hold your breath while surfacing. Rule of thumb
