- Up to 10 minutes of breathable air under the water! This 1 Liter Dive Tank Review goes through the pros and cons and functionality of the device. I think this is worlds better than the .5 liter Smaco, though each have their respective place. Many kits offer the hand pump, though I chose not to get one as one came with the .5 liter I already had. Check it out below. Cost was $139 with prime shipping on Amazon.

Mini tanks like this are quite useful at depths deeper than 25 feet. That is, if you are a SCUBA diver that has a product like this as an emergency, backup air source.
I own smaco s400. i use a yong heng compressor and i get about 18 mins breathing time, based on my breathing rythm. I like my tank. For shallow diving is great. Love it. Smooth to breath too
Aren't you concerned with air filtration quality?
I had been looking at Yong Heng compressor - it would cost me around 250 EUR, but air filtration system might cost 250 extra.
@@aleksandrgriadovoi9282 Diving Seperator PCP air compressor 4500 Psi Oil Water Filter L350mmOD49mmID36mm www.amazon.com/dp/B07KQVC5SZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_JBuKEbVW901BT. This is the filter i am using. I have not experience issues. This filter removes oil, moisture and the activated charcoal is to purify the air, before entering the scuba tank. When u order this accessory. When u get it, you have to invert both ends. The tube is held by one of the caps. So the activated charcoal should face the exit air hose leading to the tank. From factory is set up backwards. And y dont want the moisture to hit the charcoal first. All you do is to take the quick connet nipple and screw it on the cap that holds the tube, in. And the exit house that hooks on the tank, screwed on the cap, that faces the activated charcoal. And based on your question, again. You wont have any issues. The air comes out well filtered. Plus you would be using food grade oil, which is very important. What i do after every fill., i turn the compressor and close the bleed valves. Without being plugged to the tank. To purge water from the white cotton filter. Inside the black casing. Then i unscrew the casing, ane blow the remaining moisture trapped inside the the quick connect threaded head. U can use a clean cloth and wipe the inside. Then i do the same with the long tube filer from this link. Because if u dont wipe or blow off any remaining moisture after every fill. It will build up, and ruin your desiccant. The clear beads from the tube. Cutting off their working life. Too much moisture will swell them and turn them yellow. But if u do what i say and keep a good habit doing it. It will keep that tube dry, and working good for very long. By the way. Look at the item pic from the link. If you look at both ends. The quick connect nipple. Should be on the opposide side. Not where the charcoal is. So u unscrew the nipple and the hose with a wrench. And switch them off

@@henrychen2895 Is the same system pretty much. Same head regulator. No need for me to buy it
What got me into scuba initially was bootleg shallow diving with a loose mini tank the size of an old 3-liter Coke bottle and a janky hose/regulator. I was hooked.
That’s good to hear. I always love people who get an actual scuba. But these tanks can be dangerous if you don’t understand the safety.
Welcome to the club brother!
I got this from Amazon on my first trip to the ocean. We went to Laguna Beach. It was so cool. I rented a kayak and paddled out about a quarter mile. I dove down to about 65 feet and found the coolest underwater cave to explore. There were all kinds of fish, garibaldi, lobster, little sharks, sea urchins and even an octopus. I would have stayed down there for hours but after about 13 minutes, resurfaced.
That’s way deeper than I would’ve gone. I’m also surprised it lasted 13 minutes at 65 feet. What did you use to check your depth?
i am a advanced certified diver.....i find this nearly impossible and to LIVE doing what you say you did
OP works in advertising for dedepu 😂
Thanks for the review, came here to see how it fairs.
My biggest concern with these items is, that they make 'diving' so easy and accessible.
I don't wanna gatekeep, but diving can be dangerous and kill you and I just refer to the whole breath/compression issue.
These things sold relatively cheep may lure people into thinking 'diving is easy' and get them seriously hurt or killed.
Hello i am a padi certified diver i am attracted to using this in very shallow dives 20 ft or less i like this product for spear fishing in shallow water but please do get your padi certification before doing any kind of diving!!!
Mister_Mann 1000% agree!
How do you get certified and does it cost money?
@@dylanbaldwin7934 find a local dive shop, and complete the training and your final dives to get open water certified to dive up to 60 feet deep. Usualy cost somewhere around 500 give or take a little
whats that?
Hey luffy
SMACO has passed ISO 9001, BSCI, TUV, certification. Products have the appearance & invention & practical patents of China, EU, Australia and the United States etc. It has passed the professional certification of CE, ROHS, DOC, FDA,PPE and so on. What most people are failing to realize is that All tanks holding compressed gas are certified in North America to required regulations. Mini tanks like these are in a different category from scuba tanks but its the only way these can be sold, think of SpareAir (40+ years and still selling). The scuba industry does not regulate any tank manufacturing, it is DOT in USA or TC in Canada that sets the requirements. I did check before doing this video and the tanks are certified for sale in North America and around the world. Believe me. These tanks are as safe as the Boeing 737 you take when you go on vacation.
There is going to be a small adjustable valve on a good quality regulator. That can be adjusted to allow good flow but not freeflow, otherwise there is a small rubber seal that when it gets old, it will no longer seat and allow the reg to freeflow after you push the purge valve once, even if it seals upon pressurizing. Sounds like it is either a cheap or maladjusted valve from the factory. Losing any air from a tank this tiny is a huge problem.
So within the regulator itself there is a small adjustable lever for the purge valve. The issue was quality control, because the lever is slightly too high and is depressed when the top is screwed on completely. It wasn’t a difficult fix, but I definitely wouldn’t recommend taking it apart unless you know what you’re doing.
I’m not certified but I did my research and for the hundreds of Time I have used The 0.5 liter and 1 liter I had no problem but my dad is a diving instructor so I probly had more help than some people
I know alot of people diss on these but personally I love mine for freediving and use only if im not 100% confident ill make it to the top (ie: spare air). I am also padi certified so that definitely helps in the very few times I have actually used it during a freedive. Do not use below 15-20m imho.
Check out the 2 liter Smaco I put up a few weeks ago.
@@allthingsrandom8137 I use a lobster neckweight so the 2 liter vest doesn't work very well for me, I like the fact that I can have the tank on my chest instead
I think this would be great for cleaning the bottom of a boat. Just keep a small compressor and a really good filter on board.
I agree. A friend said it’s a good thing to have handy if you own a boat and a dock and need to search for items lost in the immediate area.
@@allthingsrandom8137 Is that kind of perfect?
Any diver would be more then happy to help out any reason for us to dive
is cheaper to buy 3 tanks keep them full and ready... just a filter is the price of a new tank and if you don`t know anything about filling tanks ,remember ,these are high pressure tanks about 3ooo psi bomb that will kill anyone close if they blow for lack of maintenance ...imagine that your car tires are only average 30psi and when they blow is no joke !
@@frankc6430 don’t tanks have a burst disc to prevent that from occuring
Mate. This is what I've been looking for. I have an underwater metal detector and travel to remote locations with no way of refilling a scuba tank. Depth is not deep and have plenty of help to refill the tank. Thanks
"Don't use these unless you're certified". I think you just lost 80% of the people watching this.
Not at all…. Did you miss the “but you’ll use it anyway”
I just love diving. This is perfect.

Just in case if you're new to diving do not hold your breath underwater
@all things random as a certified diver for the last 5 years pushing the purge button it is designed that way to blow water out of the regulator it’s suppose to leak out air as you put it. It’s to blow water out of the regulator when the button is pressed before you take a breath. But the leaking on the hose is not good should have had a good nice tight seal on there with a good o ring of course that o ring could have been faulty in manufacturing. Also another reason for certified diving of course for inspections.
You know i like your style! A Honest review Thank's so much my fellow certified Scuba Diver! Great content for the beginner and the knowledgeable! 5 star!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Where do I screw the pump on to fill it up with?
3:41 you can see the stage 1 regulator. On the front is the air valve and to the right is the nipple cover is a small black rubber cap. That’s where you fill it
@@allthingsrandom8137 thx so much
I live in the middle of Pennsylvania. Bought one of these while I was drunk and I don’t know where I am going to use it.
LOL.
OK I must say that slightly hilarious. Where in Pennsylvania do you live? I am from West Virginia originally.
This would be good for cleaning out a pool or just fixing something shallow underwater
I’ve heard of some people using it also to check out the bottom of rivers and lakes that are very popular, for some treasure hunting.
A trick: you can watch movies at Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching a lot of movies lately.
@Kaysen Albert definitely, been using flixzone for since december myself =)
@Kaysen Albert definitely, been using flixzone for months myself :D
Go away you obviously fake alts
On the bottle is engraver 200 bar (3000psi) can it handle 250 bar (3625psi) without blowing horribly. I want to use it to fill my air gun which works on 250 bar.
Maybe instead of pump... can tanks be filled with Smaco air compressor?
Yes, they can be filled with a specialized high-pressure air compressor like the one that Smaco offers
Any pressurized air tank is incredibly dangerous. To single out one company wether Smaco, Dedeepu, or Spair Air, and say it’s a “scam” is completely unfair… you could say that with any pressurized tank regardless of size..
It's based off of who it is being marketed to.
I think these tanks are a great idea, but only if you are scuba trained. I have padi advanced open water certificate and I think it will be safe for me to use the tank. On holiday I do a couple of dives with a dive shop and spend the rest of the time snorkeling. This will be perfect for my needs. Just to be able to do my normal snorkeling but not having to keep going up for air, so I can stay down longer if I see something interesting that I want to photograph or film.
For someone untrained that is not aware of the dangers of breathing compressed air at depth I think it could be dangerous though. The instructions should warn of the dangers such as diving at great depth or breath holding whilst ascending etc. In fact it would be a good idea if it came with an instructional dvd highlighting all the possible dangers with it and how to use it safely. The product is great as a snorkeling aid, however it is not for 'diving'.
I did a re-review of both the 1 liter and .5 liter and basically went through all the safety hazards of using these things
Can I use it in a house that I have to regular go into that is full of VOCs
Good question. Probably
If I have a swimming pool that has a depth of 12ft on the deep end, how slow do I have to ascend to get back to the surface? (I need to get to the main drain and inspect the hydrostatic valve)
I’d say you’re fine as long as you don’t pass your air bubbles. Honestly, you’d probably be fine either way, but just to be safe
By the way. Use teflon please, if u havent. U are supposed to. to.prevent the connections losing up with body movement. So it wont leak on u. I have no issues with mine
you are not supposed to use any teflon or tapes on joints on scuba gear, this are life support systems not general plumbing ,it is all about the "O" rings that seal the system and tight enough.
@@frankc6430It has nothing to do with the O ring. It has to do to prevent the connction from losing up, due to body and head movement. One time i ended up stripping a thread, from wrenching to much. I use teflon for Hi pressure connections and i havent had any problems since. And also The o ring on the outside swollen up too much and ended up separating from the edges and eventually breaking
Just ordered a 1L smaco to use in shallow lakes to treasure hunt. Hopefully it is good enough to not have to breath every minute.
Could use an electric pump though, right?
It has to be something like this
ua-cam.com/video/N5-hes9-a3U/v-deo.htmlsi=EiFJwZzllayBeZGj
Warning: If you dive deeper than 15 meters (50ft) you could literally die when breathing compressed air. So stay above 25ft and you'll be fine, at this depth you can resurface when ever you want (slowly) without any issues. I recommend a dive watch as well so you can keep track of time and depth.
I did a “re-review” where I say basically that. Except I give the depth as being far more shallow as the deeper you go, to include an upward of 25 feet is deep enough to compress everything and cut the air to basically half. my concern honestly for people is an over expansion of the lungs if they run out of air suddenly then hold their breaths coming up.
I think it’s a decent kit, but the other video explains all the ways it’ll kill you
total BS.... wrong resurface from 1,2m already can give you big issues...
It doesn't even have to be that deep. I have personally seen someone die from a rapid ascent from 30 ft where they held their breath and bolted to the surface in a panic. Embolism of the brain, dead instantly.
People are gonna do what they are gonna do, but non-divers don't really understand how dangerous breathing air underwater can be.
UPDATE: I was really exited for product to arrive but literally only piece I got was the tank. Purchase from Amazon claimed to have all the things in this video....guess not. Experience was so bad trying to return it, and get a refund, so Amazon refunded me themselves. TGE SMACO NOT THE DEDEPU
Check out minidive, I have some products coming in from them, hopefully I can get the review out beginning of August. Definitely better quality stuff
Would it be possible to use this small tank as an enhancer for snorkeling, using the tuba most of the time and turning off the tank, then when one wishes to go see stuff switch from tuba to tank? This could make the 10 min breathing of the tank enough for an hour of snorkeling.
Yes, that is what I always recommend. I recommend that someone snorkels over what they would like to go down and see, then use the apparatus to dive down and kind a look around for a little bit and then go back up safely. I did just released a video a few days ago that offers a review of the 2 L dive tank from Smaco
Thanks
I use a pcp 4500psi no oil compressor and I can get my 1L tank filled to around 2500psi in a half hour
While I MAY agree with you about the use of plastic (actually Cycolac, like a steering wheel. Ever try to break one!!), you will find that most scuba regulators, even from large brand names use plastic for the body. Obviously, pressure-related parts are brass or SS.
I guess I should’ve been specific with “I fee like it’s make of very cheap plastic”. Because I agree, but the plastics used on others are more heavy duty and durable

Can't I just fill this with my shop air compressor ?
Your shop air compressor will only pump out a few hundred psi max. You need a specialized high pressure air compressor. That does at least 3000
if i order a Qians S300 Pro Smaco Diving Tankone does it come with the pump?
This is perfect for a quick 5 meter dive at sea
I can buy this for a sea?
You could, but be careful of all the dangers. Watch this
1 L and .5 L SMACO/Dedepu Dive Tanks: How To, Will It Kill You, And Safety TIPS!
ua-cam.com/video/EvCGaj7do00/v-deo.html
Can I attach it to a larger tank to fill it up?
Yes, i’ve done several other videos with dive tanks and I’ve shown that you can fill them from other tanks. You just have to have the proper adapter called a whip.
Hi all,
I own a 1L Dedepu tank with HP manual pump but I can hardly reach more than 100 bars (1400psi).
Is there a trick or should I insist... and do weight training and fitness club?
I haven’t had an issue getting up to 3000 psi. I’m not in the best of shape, but it does get harder and harder as the time goes on. As long as you have the high-pressure manual pump, there shouldn’t be an issue. However, they do make high pressure electric pumps.
I did a video reviewing minidive and their electric pump
How many fills can you get going from a regular size scuba tank (80cf) to the 1L pony bottle?
OK, it’s sort of depends. Let me throw it out like this. The 1 L bottle is actually 6 ft.³ of air. So technically 80 ft.³ of air to 6 ft.³ of air would be just over 13 fills. But as you start dropping the pressure of the tank, you’ll never be able to fill it up to 3000 psi again. So basically you’re looking at a couple full tanks, and then a bunch of partially fillEd tanks
@@allthingsrandom8137 good to know. I’m trying to decide on a quick and dirty solution for staying down an extra minute or so when lobstering at 10-20ft. Or I could just rig up a hookah system off a 80cf tank on the surface with a long hose. We move around a lot so full on scuba is not practical when getting in and out of the water alot.
Dave Cavanaugh that makes sense honestly I think that a line from a steel 80 is safer, but it wouldn’t be bad to have the 1 L as a back up. At about 10 to 20 feet, if you’re calm and you’re used to working in those conditions, you can probably get easily 10 minutes on the 1 liter
How many minutes u can stay under water totally with full charged tank?
8 minutes
1100 pumps seems insane..but 6 hours seems worse..if someone does there home work and takes a diving course and is used to water..I would think diving 5 meters max should be low risk for death...as for filling tank I would invest in a decent electric pump..
There’s a few videos after this, one where i review Mini Dive Tanks. They sent me an electric pump and it is waaaaaay easier
@@allthingsrandom8137 yes I watched a few..a mini pump that works off off car battery would be great...just not sure how long they last and costs..the 1/2 liter seems doable using hand pump..thanks
Good products, Scuba tank and Snorkeling Diving🤩 How do you feel after you make the VS?
Going to sound stupid, but I'll ask anyway. Scuba certified many years ago. Brush up course...many years ago. Now I'm older, finally have a pool and want to use it to simply hang out near the bottom of my 8' pool without coming up for air for 10 minutes... Will this work? Will a scuba shop fill the air if i'm not current on my certification even if I'm only using this in the pool?
It’ll work just fine, if your certification is expired a scuba shop will not fill it up. There are other ways like the manual pump, they also have electric pumps. Keep your breath rate low and your heart rate calm and you should be fine
Just the price of the real one is a little sketchy if you get that half off I don’t know if I could trust that
pros: you can explore the deep end of a pool with it!
cons: you can do it without any scuba gear.
Case closed.
Can anyone use it?
And it doesn't cause any breathing problems.
Anyone can use it, yes. You can buy them on Amazon or eBay. It does not cause any breathing problems as long as it’s properly used. There are several health risks while breathing under water, that includes at any depth.
For example. Even at something like, 12 feet(3 meters), which is not deep by any means, can cause issues if you run out of air, hold your breath and surface. The correct way, even if you run out, would be to breathe out slowly the entire way to the surface. One main rule: never hold your breath under water if you have taken any breath under pressure. Either hold your breath the entire time or breathe the entire time.
If you put some PTFE tape on the threads it will help stop leaks and help with the steel into aluminium threads. Just a thought
I have a quastion bacause I want to get a diving bottle similar to yours. The problem is but I don`t know if I should get it directly from the the manufacturer or at AMAZON (the manufacturer is called SMACO) PLEASE WIRTE MY BACK ! ! !
I think it depends on how fast you want it. I own the .5 liter smaco, and ordered it from eBay. On eBay it tells you where it’s coming from, and I ordered one that was coming from the US and since I live in Alaska it got here within the week. Similar to Amazon.
So if you don’t mind waiting, and it saves you money, always order from the manufacture because in the end it’s the same product anyway.
@@allthingsrandom8137 ordered one from them in China and came here to Ireland in 6 days
The 2nd is fine for scuba diving. I replaced both of my old sherwood 2nd stages with two of those... except i wanted yellow ones to match my mask. Lol. They both worked great at 35 ft.
Is the valve thread the same one used on a normal aluminum tank? (3/4"X14 Straight thread?) Great review!
I’m ten and I scuba dive should I get one or no
Just for waist diving / like you can stand in the water these are great fun just to spend more time in the water
Hi! Can You say is there any quality different between Smaco and DiDeep or Dedepu? I would get Dideep with 30$ cheaper, but is it worth it...
From the reviews I’ve done and the other videos I’ve seen they are all basically the same. However, I feel that SMACO has better quality control than dedepu and I’ve never dealt with Dideep. But looking into it seems much like the other two. I’d say it’s a coin toss
@@allthingsrandom8137 Thanks for quick answer! I think I would pick up Smaco then and pump from other brand (because of price and taxes). Smaco Official answered me just too: "DIDEEP is a fake, they were our supply chain before. Later we removed it from our supply chain list, and they began to copy our products. Their products have not passed any safety certifications, and there is a great risk."
just get certified first and then buy proper $1500. equipment .......saving $30 is not worth your life on these units
The steel to alli issue could be fixed with the use of PTFE tape.

Hi just wanted to ask a question does this work with an electric pump?
Depends on the pump. I reviewed the tanks and showed different ways to fill them up. As long as the connection is the same, it’s filtered, and it’s high pressure, then Yes
My problem with these gimmicks is that people look at it as a way to short cut real dive training. This is not a safe system
Kyle B I agree, it is for those who are not certified. That’s why I recommend using the Citizen pro master diver that I reviewed in the past with the depth sensor and staying above 25 feet. And it is marketed for those who are not certified. In my .5 L review, I mention a lot of the safety risks
Hi I am from Spain I am begginer and what to buy a small bottle and recharge with a portable electric air machine because I don't want to do that manually... but I don't not what machine do I need to buy ... I also have a portable solar generator and I have enough energy to turn on and charge the bottle... I could understand that you now about brands, materials and you talk about the regulator ... Can you recommen me a good bottle ? I just want to go to de Beach and swimming some minutes then go out ,take brake still charge the bottle ,drink something and go inside again . But I don't know what I have to buy 🤨🤔
I would go with the SMACO. A little more pricy, but I did a review on the .5 liter about two weeks before this one. Better quality all around
I'm 17 I've always loved swimming and I went to the blue hole in Santa rosa NM and I loved it. I swam pretty deep just to touch a far rock and swim back up and I jumped from the wall a few times too. I always loved water and have had dreams where I could breathe underwater. I'm a really good swimmer and dont breathe as hard as others while swimming because I stay calm. I want to go underwater for longer i may buy a tank but I'll breath as little as possible to prolongue my time. I do know to breathe normally on the way up. I am new to this but I want to get into it. How do you get dive certified? I may not have to but just wondering out of curiosity.
Go to padi.com and you can take online course or you can search for diving shops around you. If you do the online course you still need to pay instructor, so it would be wise to search the nearest diving shop and discuss the rest with the instructor. I'm also considering it, although I don't have much time cause of work.
Do I need to buy anything else or can I use the rings that come in box will be using this for shallow diving
Everything comes in the kit minus the pump. The pump I got from .5 L tank. So the only thing you would need is a way to fill it up, and it does have a tank transfer valve so you can fill it up from another tank.
@@allthingsrandom8137 cool. Thanks👍
You said that you would be testing the “ fill from tank adapter “ that came with the 1ltr. Is that OK
Works great. Takes literally a few seconds. I haven’t done an update video on that because the pools have just opened up and the lakes here Alaska have just warmed enough to where they’re not frozen over. I have probably 10 Dive things to do in the next month and a half.
Just ordered so exited
The amazon links do not work, how did you do it? Anyone knows the exact model?
@@antibyto4579 hello we have a updated model with regulator for it, you can check.
Can't you use compressor ?
you have to use a specialty high pressure compressor. Has to be something that pumps over 3000 psi, which is not a standard compressor
Oh ok, is it expensive ?
@@ThePiter Smaco has one on their website. A few hundred dollars. But, it is portable and it can hook directly to a car battery in the field
How long did it take to do 1,100 pumps?
About 45 minutes
Can you fill it up with a automatic air pump?
PeterC Gamelin it just depends on the air pump, has to be high-pressure, whereas most aren’t , and you want to have some sort of filtration system.
I'm the guy that's going to use the pump but I'm in Arkansas and using it in my local rivers and basically snorkeling nothing probably deeper the 10ft or so. Going to throw it in my kayak and use it on trips. I did grow up in Florida and my dad and mom were certified and I buddy with them but I would caution against use without some type of experience and research
Awesome
Why exactly did you green screen in a sound booth?
Nathanial Lischak I don’t own a green screen. They are sound panels in my small garage studio
My i know how to buy that siving tank
nice review👍👏
How long will it last for if, u were to dive at approx 5m ( 12 - 15 Feet )
It really depends on how much you breath. So my breathing rate may be different than yours. For me, the most I was able to get was about 8 minutes. That being said, I was calm, and my breaths were steady. If your heart rate is up, or your swimming hard, or breathing hard, 5-6 minutes, maybe
And a smaller person, like my wife, may get 10-12 minutes out of it
Can you take this in a plane
make sure you go up slow and blow out ur air so you dont get the bends nevery hold you breath and go up 9:43 but awesome video
I’m putting together a re-review this weekend for both the 1 L and the .5. People really think that you can’t get hurt even in shallow water, but breathing any compressed air under water at any depth can’t cause injury
@@allthingsrandom8137 very good point. What can you say about the airbuddy - they have a 20 foot hose, can you get injured breathing that and being down at that ~20 foot depth?
Jose Rhode Island as long as you’re breathing throughout, and you’re breathing a steady pace as you come up, then you should be fine. Compressed air is compressed air doesn’t matter if it’s coming from the surface or coming from the tank.
@@allthingsrandom8137 thanks for your quick reply!
Maybe, but c'mon, he was at the surface already. The problem with holding your breath only applies if you have pressurized air, usually from well below the surface. I could dive to 200 ft and back if I took a breath at the surface and held it the _entire_ time. Free divers do it all the time. Alexey Molchanov could do 400 ft holding his breath, no problem.
If you planned to do a parachute jump would you find the cheapest equipment you could find? pressure & time are like tax, there's no excuse for ignorance.
Could I use a normal air compressor to fill this tank up?
The issue with that is most air compressors don’t have the capability to fill a 3000 psi tank, Most compressor is running just a couple hundred psi so the answer is no
Now I am testing out a high pressure air compressor for these tanks in the next couple weeks, it’s from A company called minidive
SMACO air compressor is coming!

Did you say the tank needed 1 100 pumps to be filled ?
About 400 pumps for the .5 liter and about 1100 for the 1 liter

Do yourself a favor man, buy a compressor with a filtration system. 2nd. Please use teflon tape on all the connections.
just having to use teflon tape .....sure says a lot about the quality of the product dosnt it .......and your life depends on it
@@canukillacs7022 i never had problems with mine. And the teflon is more to prevent threated connections in becoming loose. And as far as your life. You should know these tanks are made for shallow diving. And not to go and check on the Titanic
who is saying these tanks are made for shallow diving and at what depth ? ,and does the company offer lessons and backup ?......persons must never take non trained opinions here as training,the company says these tanks are safe to 30 meters,a dive with one to 30 meters is crazy and dangerous,needing teflon applied shows that this product is poor quality,zero quality dive equipment requires any teflon tape
This dose seem great but I just need a tank that can go 10 feet and at least hold for 20 mins. $80 or less. Am going to go to Florida to swim in the ocean. Please give me any suggestions for tanks. Please reply.
Edit:am not "diving" I just want to explore a little bit and this is my first time "diving". I just need a tank that holds for even 10 mins.
Got really no reply. 20 minutes is a bit unrealistic even for 10 feet, the only thing I would recommend is getting used 1 L tanks, and getting at least two. I know you can buy .5 L used spare airs for next to nothing
Check out here. Over 80, but many different sizes. www.leisurepro.com/p-aqutp13/catalina-pony-bottle-tanks-yellow-with-pro-valve-13-cu-yellow?gclid=Cj0KCQiA962BBhCzARIsAIpWEL1c2QjvzREZYSTG7TnDm5MWqLKekQ1jwxy2gM9qrYjktYf_OeLy_GoaAvGlEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
Thank you for the suggestion. I have one question. Dose it come with a hose and the mouth piece?
super zachary 63 it does. Works quite well and consistent
@@allthingsrandom8137 thank you for your help.:)
It's not for diving with it is for emergency use while diving. Similar to spare air tanks.
It's not for replacing your dive cylinder it's to supliment it if you run out of air.
Will probable he 2 minutes of air.
You should never pump from a pump but compressor.
Kurt Steiner on my rig, I use a 19 cubic foot tank as a reserve tank, because at any real depth, a liter Is nothing. That’s why “if” a person gets it I recommend staying at 1 bar
Love how your computer was telling your going to fast 😂 was at 135' got nerc'ed out and went to 90' in seconds 😂 12' 😅
Computers just do their jobs and don't ask questions. But still, I bet you could damage your full lungs if you held your breath ascending from 12' with 1.4 atm of pressure in them . . . The computer could be there to remind the uncertified to keep breathing!
@@totheknee ya i bet you could damage if you hold your breath! Not when your breathing
Ok cerfivied diver we got it!!
They say it’s 15-25 minutes kinda false advertising
How long can u use it underwater?
Champ Bauce if you stay above 25-30 feet, it’ll last between 7-11 minutes
I need 1 hour breathing diving tank for fish hunting use it's where available
Sumathi Viyas well that’s going to be a full size 80 or 100. My standard dive when actually scuba is around 45 minutes depending on the depths and safety stops
You most likely damaged that o-ring at 5:14 when you removed the hose and were twisting the reg instead of the nut on the hose.
Hey loved the video, I'm not super knowledgeable about diving but you mentioned the issue with the steel regulator and aluminum tank causing wear down and particles if you were to use a mild plumbers tape would that potentially fix some of the issue or would that be more risky?
So the issue is not a “super” big deal. It’s just note worthy. So it’ll be ok, as long as the regulator is not taken on and off constantly. Some would disagree, but it’s fine if you just leave it on
How do you convert 1100 pumps into minutes?
Depends on your cardio strength. For more it was a 100 pumps then a break, then 100 more. About 30 minutes of cardio
@@allthingsrandom8137 shiiiiish that's a long time pumping I'd just rather hold my breath lol thank you
Can I fill them with my air compressor?
Your air compressor does not have enough psi to actually fill the tank. It takes a special high pressure compressor to actually do it
@@allthingsrandom8137 I got you. But how does s hand pump do it then?
@@Rbhawk3rd it’s not a standard hand pump. It’s a high pressure, and I’ll tell you it is not easy to hand pump. Without a special high-pressure hand pump, a standard hand pump wouldn’t get it past 30 psi. Let alone 3000
@@Rbhawk3rd ua-cam.com/video/N5-hes9-a3U/v-deo.html
Here is a rig from Mini dive, that also had a high compressor electric pump
@@allthingsrandom8137 Thank you do much for the response. 😊
How did you connect it to pump it up?
If you can wait about 4 days, I’m releasing a re-review on both the 1 liter and .5 liter. I’ll be going filling both from the pump as well as a scuba tank
All Things Random see if you can find away to put air in tank via Tyre compressor air pump. As scuba air compressors are $$$
Looking forward to next review.
It looks extremely fun and useful. We really owe the Chinese. I think they are disturbed when I see that I am a professional here, spending tons of money for this job and seeing that it can be done cheaply. He is not a professional. It is okay to dive with this device from 3 to 5 meters. Those who write disastrous scenarios are also blowing up completely, and don't worry if no one dives into 30 meters with this device.. I say these as a professional diver.
can these work roughly seventy to seventy five feet deep?
They could, it at that depth we are talking a couple breathes. It recommended unless it’s used only as an emergency at that depth
I'm a certified Commercial Diver and Scuba Diver, please for the love of god don't even try it. That's a great way to drown.
Why paying a scuba shop??. Get a yong heng compreseor for $257. And a tuxing filtration system. My filter have never collected aluminum dust. And not forgetting. The oil i use in my compressor is Bio based, non toxic, biodegradable. Food grade ISO 46
Please more info on the filtration system. I wasn't aware that there are food grade compressor oils.
@@aleksandrgriadovoi9282 Yes. Browse for Renewable lubricant brand >> Hydraulic oil ISO 46. Is non toxic. Is perfect if a compatible high pressure as the Yong Heng,, would be used for Breathing Air.

I really hate the way these things are being marketed, as you mentioned.
Learn to dive and use some proper kit, or just stick to snorkeling. There is really no benifit to risk using this as a stand along tank. 8 minutes is no time at all, but plenty of time to get yourself in a whole load of trouble.
The whole kit just looks shoddy and cheap, I certainly wouldn't stake my life on it being any good.
Great points. How about practicing breath holds and do some free diving. Snorkel to a spot, then with some long fins, go 40 feet under for a few minutes. Far safer in the end
With these mini scuba tanks being dirt cheap and for sale on Aliexpress - I wonder how many have drowned because of how accessible these are. Scuba diving has courses for a reason.
Check out the re-review I dive in deep to all the dangers. No pun intended
Nice one mate
Evolution once again. In 2021 we will discover pony tank ;)
🤣🤣
i stay whit 12l 200 bar just one hour why you want a 1l tank
Is it good oxygen bottle for amateur?
Marcel Smal first lets just clarify “air” which is about 20% oxygen. As long as you take the necessary safety precautions, I think it’s fine. Which is why in my re-review I go over A lot more of the safety precautions and some accessories you can use to help mitigate that.
is not about the bottle ,is about the injuries you can get for not knowing what it can do to you...get scuba certify and then you will understand it . this is scuba gear not for amateurs ,safety underwater because a screw up can cost your life or life injuries !...is like buying a car and you never have driven yet , what do you think it can happen?
Frank C yeah that’s why in the re-review I cover all that. All the reasons it’ll kill you and the reasons why you shouldn’t use it
