CHIKADIV Mini Scuba Tank with Sub-Mask, 0.5L Diving Tank with Full-face Mask Underwater Breath System Lung Tank DOT Certified Pony Bottle for Snorkeling

My husband asked for this as a Christmas present, and when he saw it, he loved it. You'll be using it soon. Excellent product. A very nice wallet.

If you enjoy snorkeling but you’re looking to spend a little more time underwater, this combination snorkeling scuba set could be what you’re looking for. The full face dive mask works very well, and even with facial hair, I’m able to get a good leak-proof seal. The air intake ports on the left and right side of the mask allow you to attach the included snorkels, or optionally the mini scuba tank for extended underwater sessions. You can also use the mini tank on its own with the included regulator, which functioned flawlessly. While testing the unit, I found that drawing air from the tank and expelling breathed air was easy and drama free. Keep in mind that you only get a few minutes of extra breathing time from the mini scuba tank, and while you don’t have to get certified to use this type of gear, it is a very good idea to become familiar with safety procedures in order to prevent accidents and dangerous situations. Because this set doesn’t include a high-pressure air pump, you’ll need to find a separate pump to pressurize the scuba tank, or visit a dive shop that can fill it for you. While this isn’t what I would consider professional grade equipment, it’s more than adequate for casual snorkeling, and it's a good value for anyone who might be interested in trying out scuba diving before buying more expensive diving equipment.

This thing works super amazingly. No water gets in when you go fully submerged underwater.

This would have been 5 star except for the mode of refill. The pumping is time consuming and hard!! As you fill it gets harder to push. Buy the electric pump they recommend because a home compressor doesn’t even work. We also tried a Scuba place and wouldn’t fill unless we had a license to dive.

I was worried that this set would be too heavy, but it turned out to be not as bad as I thought. It's a great set, not heavy and good for an adult. I like that everything is very compact and doesn't take up a lot of space. I also really like that the kit comes with absolutely everything you need for snorkeling. ALSO I really like that I can use either just the mask, or just the diving tank separately, or all together - this variety is suitable for different occasions and I'm very glad I chose this company.

Avoid. After use this “mini scuba tank” kit feels like a gimmick. The mask fit is awkward, the straps slip, and it still fogs despite the claims. The included pump takes forever and the connections feel flimsy, so I never felt confident it would hold pressure reliably. Instructions are vague and the overall build quality screams cheap. For something that’s supposed to be used underwater, that’s unacceptable. I’m returning it and would not trust this for anything beyond a quick try in a pool.

I bought the Mini Scuba Tank with Sub-Mask for short underwater adventures. It works amazingly well and provides smooth breathing. The tank is lightweight, easy to carry, and the full-face mask fits comfortably. Great for quick dives or exploring shallow waters.

I wanted to have a mini scuba tank on my gear as a backup for emergencies. Overall it's a nice to have just in case it's ever needed. Unfortunately it only has a few minutes of breathing time so you have to be pretty conscious about when to use it. Refilling it requires a special high pressure pump. The size of the tank is bigger than I expected but not so big that it's convenient to attach to any BCDs. I don't plan on using the included full mask so I cannot speak on the comfort or usage of that. It does provide a nice sense of security knowing you have this reserve tank, and I hope the pressure holds well since it's not something that'll be used regularly on a dive.
