The Spare Air 300 is a compact emergency backup air system often referred to as “the diver’s reserve parachute.” Designed for safety-conscious divers, it provides 3 cubic feet of breathing gas in a small, easily deployable package.

Measuring 13.4 inches long and 2.5 inches in diameter, it can be securely mounted to a diver’s gear using the included holster. The integrated on-demand regulator is always ready to use, allowing for immediate breathing when needed—whether for self-rescue or assisting another diver.

The Spare Air 300 is also travel-friendly. The unit can be safely transported by draining the tank and removing the regulator, making it suitable for air travel. Nitrox-compatible options are also available for added versatility.
