In this video, I do a comprehensive review of the SMACO S500 0.7L Mini Scuba Diving Tank.
Here is a link to the SMACO S500 0.7L Mini Scuba Diving Tank: www.smacodive.com/product/sma...
The SMACO S500 tank is constructed of 6061 aviation aluminum with a maximum working pressure of 3000 psi/200 bar/20 Mpa. It measures 37.8x14x7mm and has a capacity of 0.7L.

Hello Steven, thank you for the video. I really enjoy snorkeling and will be going to bonaire this may. I love the water and would really like to try ''scuba'' with the Smaco to see if I want to get my PADI, it's undeep water (around 4 meter deep which is 13,1234 foot) I can just buy this at a local store here, would it be safe to use for me in undeep water?

@DigginwithSeven Жыл бұрын

It is a safe alternate air source. I would encourage you to go ahead and get scuba certified… you would love diving. Thanks for watching the video.

G'day Steve. Would you recommend this unit for snorkelling? Lets say normal snorkel for the surface, then diving down to 10-15 feet without weights and using the unit for a minute of time at the bottom, and repeat. Would buoyancy be an issue if snorkelling without weighting and wetsuit and using the unit? Great Video, thanks.

It wouldn’t really be the best for anything above shallow waters (above 10), though you would really just get 5 minutes of breathing time before you run out

Nice review. How does the 0.7L capacity translate into c.f.? This definitely looks smaller than my 19 cf pony tank, but not sure how it compares to a 6 cf or 13 cf. A bit hard to generalize from breathing time at still fairly shallow depths, and I'm not finding a quick answer on Google. One more thing: do they have a network of dive shops that will do periodic maintenance on the SMACO regulators? Most dive shops will only work on certain brands.

@DigginwithSeven Жыл бұрын

Not sure on maintenance. Google says 0.7L is 0.0247 cubic foot. If you click on the link in the description of the video you might more on the info you are looking for.

@rob_9876 Жыл бұрын

@@DigginwithSeven Thanks, I don't believe that the .0247 number is the actual cubic foot capacity -- I'm pretty sure there is more math to do involving the psi it can be filled to also. Looks like all numbers on that site are in metric. Not even a bar number to convert. If you are in touch with the manufacturer, you might suggest that if they want to sell in the U.S. market, they should include a cubic feet number. Have a good day!

@DigginwithSeven Жыл бұрын

@@rob_9876 good idea. I will pass that alone. I know it's more than 1/4 of a cubic foot. Lol

Would you recommend this for just extended snokeling time?

@gamer-dna Ай бұрын

No, not if you have not been formally trained in SCUBA. Like he said in his closing remarks, this is not something for the untrained because the dangers are too real. Once you dive beneath the surface the sights you will find can be a real distraction and possibly draw you deeper down in the water to get a closer look; you can quickly find yourself at 30' and without the depth gauges and other devices used in a complete scuba setup you won't be able to easily and safely tell how deep you are. For example if you used this device and dived to 30' (feet) your lungs will now be at twice the atmospheric pressure; if you was to surface from this depth and your did not take the necessary steps (which I won't go into here as I am not intending to teach you how to dive) your lungs will be irreparably damaged, and it is very possible that you would be dead before they got your back to shore, if not before they got you on the boat. If you want to use an air canister to extend your underwater activities, then PLEASE GET CERTIFIED THROU PADI, SSI, or any of the other recognized diving institutions that may be in your area. DON'T USE THESE TYPES OF PRODUCTS WITHOUT PROPER TRAINING! The risks are REAL!!!

Isn't clear to me why I would buy the S500 0.7 liter version vs the s300 0.5 liter version since it would be used for not much more than short times and primarily emergency/backup. The smaller size of the S300 would seem sufficient, and more compact.

I think you math is off. These are not sufficient for emergency air and are not designed to be. These are for shallow-water diving, such as lobster diving in the Florida Keys.

as an advanced certified scuba diver ......i see these units as very dangerous even as an alternate air source.....one big reason everybody reading this can see.....is where is the pressure gauge ? on the side facing away from you !.....you cannot see how much air you have while using it !......the use of these units without proper training is highly risky ......sadly in the future we will all start to hear about injury and or deaths from the use of these types of units and not just as for the use of the unit but the lack of training to use any underwater breathing air source ......i like that you say using them as an alternate air source.....but i fear for the ppl that will use them as a primary or only air source.........DANGEROUS LIFE THREATENING COMBINATION-NO TRAINING AND THIS STYLE AND USE OF THIS STYLE APPARATUS
