The HOUVAN Mini Scuba Tank is a well-built piece of gear, made from thick, durable metal and easy to assemble. Be aware, however, that you'll need to purchase a separate adapter to fill the tank—either from a standard scuba tank or a hand pump. Filling from a primary tank is very fast and only takes a few seconds. Getting the regulator tuned properly took quite a bit of trial and error. Initially, it either free-flowed air or made it difficult to breathe. Even after fine-tuning, breathing still requires more effort than I'd like. The included tools help with the necessary adjustments, but the instructions are limited. Fortunately, there are online videos that walk you through the process. Another drawback is the lack of a harness or attachment system for your BCD. I was able to rig it up with some string, but a dedicated mount or strap would’ve been a much better solution. Overall, it’s a decent mini scuba tank with solid construction and fast refilling capabilities, but it requires some patience, tuning, and additional purchases to be truly useful. Read more

Guessing I got a refurbished one because the wrist leash was missing. Simply didn't work. Air was coming out of the mouth piece as I was trying to inflate. Returning. Read more

Very good air tank but I had to adjust to the breathing a bit. Anyways, id recommend this air tank but also get an electric air pump, pumping this by hand is surprisingly hard Read more

Took this out to the lake with the family this past weekend and it was awesome. Super easy to use, surprisingly solid build for the size, and gave us just the right amount of time underwater to check out the bottom, retrieve dropped stuff, and just have some fun. Read more

I bought two mini scuba tanks (and recently a mask with an attached tank) to try out for pool repairs for my company because they seem so much easier to use than setting up my full scuba kit and I was right! They are and for that purpose they’re great! But…. After playing with this in the pool I got the wild hair to take it on a river trip I went on and it made the trip sooo much better I ended up using it to swim down to the bottom of the river and go treasure hunting. Honestly even though I only found a completely water logged iPhone and several pairs of cheap sunglasses it was still a blast! It lasted for about 8 minutes and the wrist strap made me feel a lot more comfortable about taking it on the river. Definitely a fun toy for any water based vacay! Read more
