used a spare air - for safety purposes when using hookah and snuba
- 10 mins goes fast - you cant stay on bottom with out weight belt
what are you going to do with it ?
if you want to try and dive with it - what if you don't get a hit for 10 mins?

Figured instead of hauling a ton of SCUBA stuff, thinking this SCORKL might come in handy for hunting in 10 feet of water off beach areas.
And if 10 minutes isn't long enough .Buy another for $200.00

bad idea, not very safe, what happens when you go to deep to fast and get the bends ?? wrong air ??

used spare air, this looks the same, well maybe this one comes with the fill adapter and you do not have to buy it extra.

youre going to need a weight belt to stay down and swing - so add 100+
if youre going to by 2 for 20 mins - then you just should get one of these instead

or

for 25 mins.

or do like me - go snuba
if you are willing to spend $400 for 2
get snuba and stay under for 2+ hrs

You did not buy direct then; what dive shop did you use. I purchased mine direct and had to get the compressor adapter separate. I made my purchase while living overseas in Europe, dive shops are limited and prices are crazy high. US based dive shops are like most other US based stores, they do not ship to APO.

Agree with CASPER-2, for the money it seems better to go with a SNUBA rig and have approx. 1 hour's air supply or if you want a higher end rig go with a hookah. SCORKL seems cool, but not really practical, unless its a back-up. My two-cents......

10 minutes of air in an environment that already wants to kill you....no thanks.
