I tested the SMACO 2 liter mini scuba diving tank.
How long does the mini diving tank last, how much does it cost, is it dangerous and much more info.
I have worked more than 7 years as a commercial diver and have one 1000 dives, so I know what I'm talking about and I do have fair amount of knowledge about diving.
I am not paid to say anything positive or negative about this tank, am I also not getting any commission from sales.
This is a honest review and I am not paid to say anything positive or negative about this tank.

Probably a good gear to do underwater repairs or inspections of your boat. In this use case, you stay close to the surface, are attached to the boat with a lifeline, but have your hands free to work, and the dive time is more than sufficient. I would consider one if going on a blue water cruise.

@RazorRevenge 10 месяцев назад

What about for lake diving? Maybe 10 feet tops. I really want to go out and pick up trash and other lost stuff in my local lake. I don’t live on the coast so there are no scuba classes near me. Or maybe I could use a garden hoes and tie it to my boat and breath through that?

@scavanger1000 9 месяцев назад

@@RazorRevengeI wouldn’t recommend it without any scuba training, I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t be able to breath through a hose at that depth, and even if you could it would probably get full of co2, similar to how snorkels can give you a “co2 hit” if used improperly

With french made military rebreathers (DC-55, FROG) you didn't have (well ..you don't have) a safety regulator. The only thing you could count on in emergency was a small 0,6 liter or 0,4 liter air bottle that was used for BCD inflation ...so you had to take off the hoses of the rebreather and breath from the BCD ...and ascent from up to 55 meters of depth (maximum depth for the DC-55)

@igortseitkin2961 8 месяцев назад

A nice and concise (yet, detailed enough) review. Thank you!

@john30039 11 месяцев назад

I would use this as a self-contained emergency air system for my main system. Being a wreck diver you find yourself in situations without a direct ascent. I had an o-ring blowout on my main while deep in a wreck. But my dive buddy was right there, so after I grabbed his second/emergency regulator we attempted to diagnose the issue. Failing that we made our way out and a safe ascent. With this small bottle, it will give the diver an emergency air system in case their buddy was several meters/yards away. Overall it is for peace of mind.

Like he says in the video I would get training also since, not only do you learn a lot, you run through a multitude of emergency procedures and experience in a pool and open water. If you don't have it and something goes wrong you will most likely panic, or have to think what to do which wastes precious time. Furthermore, with training you are far less likely to end up in a situation anyway. It happened to me when I was in training, my mouthpiece detached from the regulator and I took a second to discover what was wrong, being new at the time, I naturally tried swimming quickly to the top but the weight belt made it slow since I was still learning to maintain buoyancy. Fortunately I quickly put in my seondary regulator and re-surfaced. Although I am not the sort of person to panic, it is still scary and being inexperienced and ill-educated makes your insticts take over, which for something like SCUBA diving, can be fatal.

@hallowedmeadow4636 7 месяцев назад

You guys are very safety. Safety. Safety. Im certified as well but to me this has a specific utilitarian use which is routine boat and anchor inspections. As sailors we have to frequently check props, inspect hulls, check anchors. This is routinely no more than 3m. Holding your breath in a sea state while trying to unwap a founled prop is a hassle, and coming up nearly out of breath you risk bumping your head etc. I would use this w a SOP onboard that states no more than 3m and 10 min. At that point the risks are less than using snorkel gear since depth and duration are not even factors.

@jonetyson 5 месяцев назад

You do realize that the air in your lungs expands when you come up, right? This means that if you don't keep your airway open that your lungs will be over-inflated upon surfacing if they were full at depth. This isn't an issue when you dive without a tank, because at depth your lungs are not fully inflated even if they were on the surface, because the air in your lungs becomes compressed as you go down.

@jamesgraham8386 7 месяцев назад

You should have the pony bottle visually inspected. Make sure you have the O-rings in place and fill the tank with a compressor that is suitable for breathing gases.

@reality-cheque 7 месяцев назад

Looks like the suit inflation bottles we used in the Navy - buoyancy in the drysuit! You couldn't breathe from it, though. Anyone remember ABLJs? (Adjustable Buoyancy Life Jackets) - pre-cursers to the BCD. These had small inflation bottles like this and could be used in an emergency, by breathing through the ABLJ's mouthpiece. Actually, I think they were even smaller than this!

@Panchovila1 Год назад

2 liters in a bottle at 200 bar pressure (2900 psi) is 400 liters of air Basically the human breathes on the surface between 12 to 20 times per minute for a capacity of 2.5 liters in calm weather and 5 liters in effort time. By spanking an average say 15 breaths per minute for 3 liters (15x 3= 45 liters per minute) and therefore 400 liters / 45 this gives 8.8 minutes of air on the surface At 10 meters divided by 2 or 4.4 minutes and at 20 meters by 3 or 2.9 minutes. Must not have tress otherwise more air. Even use as a backup for a stop of 3 minutes at 5 meters the bottle is not sufficient It will be empty well before because the breathing of the divers will be more important due to the stress of the end of the dive. This type of bottle is dangerous for divers It is fine for those who snorkel. Response from a scuba diving instructor

Toothpaste is used only to scrub the factory film off the inside of your mask BEFORE you use your mask, when it's brand new, and it should be repeated 2-3 times... Rinse and repeat... I don't always have spit when needed, (who does), and I use the commercial anti-fog spray, found at most dive shops..

Max pressure 200 bars. Volume 2liters. Tidal volume is about 0.5 liter, breathing - about 15 times a minute. At a not deap diving, accordiingly - 2*200/(0.5*15)=53 minutes. Deeper dive will reduce the amount of possible breathings accordingly. 10 meters - 2 times, 20 meters - 3 times, and so on. fast movements would lead to deeper and faster inhaling. Let say another factor 2. So 2 L bottle should give you 10-20 minutes at 10 meters dive.

@ArthurvanH0udt 8 месяцев назад

AT 4m00 mark. About filling the smaller tank with a big tank. Even the 1st time will never fill the small bottle to 100% because of the equilibirum. So full large bottle will 1st time fill small bottle to about 80-90% IMHO. And then of course as stated it gets worse starting with large bottle not from 100%.

@P.S.009 9 месяцев назад

Great review. I have one question. In general, does wearing a scuba tank increase or decrease a diver's buoyancy, assuming no BCD? Or more to the point did this Smaco setup act like weights on your buoyancy?

@emeraldvirgo 8 месяцев назад

Using the full-sized tank, I find they don't make me more buoyant. The air is so compressed in that tank that it increases the air density exponentially. Coupled with the metal material of the tank, I would think that they wouldn't make someone more buoyant.

@peteskyrunner4845 8 месяцев назад

When it's full with liquid gas it will be heavier than water so will decrease buoyancy but as you use the air the tank gets lighter so will become neutrally bouyant. When the tank is empty it will increase bouyancy.

@petermichaelgreen 8 месяцев назад

@@peteskyrunner4845 The air inside a scuba tank is still a gas, just a gas under high pressure. Oxygen and Nitrogen don't become liquids at room temperature under any reasonable pressure (this differs from the likes of Propane and Butane and even CO2 which can be liquified at room temperature with feasible pressure).

@petermichaelgreen 8 месяцев назад

Roughly speaking a litre of volume gives a kilogram of buoyancy. This tank is adverstised as having a capacity of 2L and a weight of 6.5Kg. The external volume is probablly a little bit bigger than the capacity but I would think the tank overall would stil have negative boyancy.

@dbfuentes 6 месяцев назад

@@petermichaelgreen also take into account the material of the cylinder. Aluminum tanks are negatively buoyant when they are full, but become more positively buoyant as air is consumed. This means that by the time an aluminum tank is empty, it will float to the surface. Steel tanks also start off negatively buoyant, but they typically remain so throughout most of the duration of the dive

This makes me really nervous when I think of people with no education using them. If you consider using a tank like this without training realise it could really KILL you if you use it incorrectly, by just some smaller mistakes. The largest one is that you forget and hold your breath as you go up which is extremely dangerous. Other risks include filling it with incorrect air or having a problem hapening deep down in the water such as just fainting. I understand it looks super fun, because it is, but it is a bit like driving a sports car without a licence. It is not that hard, but if you do a mistake on the freeway it will be the last thing you do. So I recommend going one or better several diving courses.

No one should use this or similar setup without a diver's license PERIOD! 2L at 200bar is 400 litres. A person in good condition and relaxed uses about 20L/minute at the surface so will use 40L/min at 10meters. That gives 10 minutes or maximum 7 minutes using the rule of thirds, that is always exit with one third of what you started with. If you are under stress, cold and/or physical exertion you can easily go in panic mode and use 10 times the air and then it's gone in under a minute.... and never, ever dive alone. You should always dive with a buddy and both have a spare regulator (and a spare brain)....

pls respond @Christian Wedoy i love watching ur videos and i want to know how to re surface when ur 5/10m from the top when your using the gear because you said dont hold ur breath so breath normally when rising? bc i dont want my lungs to explode Xd

@MrGrantgoulding 10 месяцев назад

Could I be ok to use this simply to dive under my boat to clean the prop of the regular fouling it gets?

@wormgaming3807 Год назад

Doesn't filling your tank with a hand pump allow moist air into the tank leading to rust

@blecgaming9069 Год назад

These tanks may not be superb for standard diving. However! For pool maintenance. They are a God sin, because you don't need a 30-40 foot rod to reach the bottom and running back and forth. You can take the vacuum nozzle and dive to the bottom and suck up all of the nasties. It's much faster and it allows you to get a close look at the intakes and more to service at the bottom of some pools. It also allows you to get a through job. You can cut a hour long job in the sun, in half and your not having to stop to avoid heat stroke, sun burn etc. They have there place,

@Christian_Wedoy Год назад

I agree. You should not go deeper than 10m with these. So to compare it to a full scuba rig would be wrong.

@skzion2 Год назад

So you think this is targeted at pool boys who can spend hundreds of dollars on hardware? I visited the website. No pool boys there.

@blecgaming9069 Год назад

@@skzion2 ideally, a professional pool cleaning business or summer time husseler will spend roughly $1,000 on good equipment. 2L tank kit is between $400-500 + $400-500 for your vacuum, adapters, scrub brushes, chemicals, poles, mechanics tool kit, and the other basics for pool care. I prefer actually going go small scuba tank route for cleaning deep pools because you can physically stay at the bottom

@skzion2 Год назад

@@blecgaming9069 Well, you might actually be a good customer for this device. You'd need to add the price for a speedy scuba-certified compressor, though, for all those refills. Even for you, though, why not just get a cheap scuba rig with 40 cu ft or maybe 80 cu ft, with a cheap regulator and bcd? And some weights. You'll be able to get these cylinders professionally filled (fills are pretty cheap). This would be much safer and less burdensome for serious use, or so it seems to me. You'll need fins and a mask regardless of system.

@blecgaming9069 Год назад

@@skzion2 Unfortunately where I live, the closest professional sucba shop is a 4-5 hour ride. So getting refills is quite a out of the way task unless I'm in the area. The cheapest scuba set from what I looked into, was $1,100 for everything. I do already have a certified air compressor, fins, mask and regulator as I do scuba for a hobby and clean pools for some extra cash. It's a great hobby either way , for someone that doesn't care to buy the full scuba rig and lesson anyways; this is a good; however more dangerous way to scuba.

@lupitaosnaya8843 Год назад

can you give us more Details on the compresor ?

@summerland6397 Год назад

It would be good for emergencies on the sailboat. Instead of suffering a snorkel when trying to clear a prop or rudder.

@pshort1848 Год назад

Looks good! 1. basically keep breathing going up and down. 2. Don't go below 10 meters probably 8 for safety. 3. Throw away after used 🤷‍♂️. I only want one to swim with turtle's at turtle point in Gili T 🐢

@odomn Год назад

I'm certified. I see so many issues with this little tank. 5 meters seems safe enough, but it is pretty easy to dive to 20 meters without even realizing it. The guy using this is not going to have a depth gauge or a pressure meter and will not know how deep he is or how much air he has left. He won't have a BC. All of a sudden he is 20 meters down and run out of air. That is a time for panic. Hopefully he can make it to the surface. Much better solution for shallow dives by amateurs would be a hose with a floating pump. The tether limits you to 10 meters and you cannot get yourself in as much trouble. And as an added bonus you also have a diving flag.

@GI-AUS 7 месяцев назад

Weird, he jumped into the pool without fins. Also, a normal 3L Faber scuba tank is half the cost of this 2L tank and you can use normal dive compressor and regulator.

@SouthLightFX Год назад

Very helpful / informative... thank you Christian. I have been considering an air tank (of this nature) for a while, but have been put off by the price of them. I have never scuba dived before; I would like to one day but probably wouldn't be able to, due to having had a cornea 👁️ transplant. (Unless anyone knows otherwise?)

@blindey Год назад

I have no idea about corneal implants, but you can call DAN (the diver alert network) and talk/email them. They're doctors who answers questions about diving, offer diving insurance, and help in emergency. If you shouldn't go scuba diving then you shouldn't get this and do it. What puts me off is the price. Like 500 bucks? That's more (depending) than a full-size scuba tank. AND more for an adaptor and compressor? ehh. I might go for it if it was like 150 or something personally but this price ain't worth it for me. Hope you get a pass to go diving. I've only started training recently but it's really awesome.

@SouthLightFX Год назад

@@blindey Many thanks for that! 😁😁 I'll look them up... No one has said that I can't go diving, to be honest they haven't actually said either way. 🥴

@ph1gm3nt Год назад

A thought for you. Have you considered a SNUBA system? It’s basically a compressor on a float that (generally) uses batteries to power the compressor. I’m not sure of how long the hose is for feeding you air. It’s at least 30ft/10m or it could be a 300ft/100m. Also I have had two lenses (eyes) replaced and both corneas sliced for fixing near-sightedness. And I would be allowed to dive.

There’s a reason why you need to be CERTIFIED to scuba dive. I’d recommend you change the name from SMACO to Darwin Award Oceanic.

Jimbo and billy bob are sitting at home one day watching scuba diving on the discovery channel,jimbo looks at Billy bob and ask”Billy bob,why is it when them there fellers are scuba diving,why is it they always fall backwards out of the boat into the water instead of falling forward” Billy bob looks straight at jimbo and says “ because you dumb sumbitch,if they fell forward they’d still be in the damn boat “😂😂😂😂🤫😳
