I bought this many years ago .https://www.beuchat-diving.com/gb/products/55-kit-bateau-3278553171011.html
Use any dive shop on the marinas costs €2 for a 2.0L refill .
In France it’s MOT d every two yrs at €30 .That’s a legal requirement btw .
Comes with a steel trad bottle , weights and a proper regulator + gauge .You need weights otherwise you will end up expending 1/2 your energy on stopping floating up .At prop depth you get 20 mins . Used it a few times in the CdA to scrub the props + stern gear .Once for rope fouling round a prop , which is primarily why I bought it .

The safety thingy.Well on a public forum always seek professional training.
Having said that inho you aren’t gonna get the bends at 1M to 1 1/2 M phaffing under your boat .Yes never hold your breath with compressed air .The bottle sits on your back out of the way freeing up hands space in front to work .

Not sure how in the way , or easy it will be work on your sterngear or bow thruster tunnel with that dangling from your gob tbh ?
Or the longevity and suitability of AL ( its made in China ) compared to a trad steel bottle either ? Others may want to chime in and clarify that ? Telling the kid never mentioned taking to a dive shop for a refill wonder why ?
