Having once been in a situation where another few seconds would have meant I no longer needed assistance I can honestly say that another 20 or 30 seconds at depth can make a big difference. Of course if breathing off such a little thing I would hold my breath for as long as possible (horizontal escape plan) before taking another breath which would extend the 20 to 30 seconds by quite some time.

Would I buy one? No. I'd rather save up and buy a 3 ltr pony which gives some real redundancy.

Would I take one on a dive? Yes, if there was no other option.

Will people take the piss? Yes, but if it saves a life then who cares.

Question
Thats just ridiculous... I mean there are no bands.. and where would you get bands for such a mini me sized Twinset?? Would you get Stainless? or is this a throw away item? Does Custom Divers do a valve guarfd for the twinverts? I mean I can't see Steve W or Steve S getting one of these little puppies and NOT wanting to invert them. Its just sillyness..
