Safety First! We have a special blowout on the popular back-up system, Spare Air. The Spare Air system provides you with 3 cubic feet of air to do a safe emergency assent when your buddy cant be found. The redundancy of Spare Air will make you feel better about checking out those deeper reefs or exploring farther. Of course nothing will replace good training and sound judgement, but the piece of mind provided by Spare Air is well worth this special blowout price: $199! Spare Air systems include a mouthpiece, regulator system, 3 cubic foot tank, and a carrying pouch.

Eco Dive Center supports safe diving practices and provides regular PADI Rescue Diver course, Deep and Wreck Diver Specialty training, and carries a full selection of pony bottles and back-up systems.
