When you dive with a big tank, at the end of the dive you have a big empty tank that is buoyant (for example an empty aluminum 80 cubic foot tank has over 4.1 lbs. of buoyancy). To compensate for this a diver has to add 4 extra pounds on top of the weight necessary…
Given that diving with our 24 cubic foot small tank you have about 1/3 the air of the bigger tank, we do not recommend going deeper than 40 feet and spending most of your time at depths equal to or less than 30 feet.
Yes you can purchase an adopter and connect your smaller tank to a bigger tank. Here is one example of the set up…
It is true that stainless steel corrodes in a more dishonest way than galvanized steel, further galvanic corrosion of stainless with galvanized steel ground tackle promotes degradation of the  zinc coating on galvanized steel. At the same time galvanized swivels don’t swivel and corrode after they lose their galvanization. If you decide that you want a swivel that works you…

The Mantus Scuba Compressor uses a 1.3 kW electric motor, but with the peak current on start of the machine the wattage can be 3 times higher to around 3600 W. Most inverters have a 50% overload capacity, meaning a 1000 W inverter will have 1500 W overload capacity. So make sure the inverter you…
Stainless steel degrades over time in a salt water environment and we recommend replacing the swivel every 5 years.
