I looked back a few pages and didn't see any post pertaining to this, so pardon me if this is old news.
I just save about $200 and built my own Third Lung Accumulator Tank.
In 15 years I never had my Brownie (Honda) die on me while diving, but I figured since now I am pushing 60, why tempt fate.
I see kits going for $250+ on the web. This is one I cobbled together and costs about $50.
I bought a new U.S. surplus aluminum air tank for $32 shipped from this guy. 12 x 7 Aluminum Air Pressure Tank 150PSI Max Single 1 4" 3 3 8" Mrap Air Bag | eBay , A couple brass plugs for a few bucks and a couple air line fittings.
I plan on having some guards, similar to the one on propane tanks, welded on to protect the fragile air line connectors.
A quick test showed that 1 diver would get about 15 extra breaths using this set up. Way more then enough for the depths I detect at.
