I have one of the Buddy bags and below 30 meters it's pretty much worthless.

It came with the smaller cylinder. I tried to find the larger one here in the States and was told by many sources that the larger one is no longer available here.

It's a great idea and I would like to use it with the larger bottle, but as it is it's only good on shallow dives.

Richie,
The deepest I have used mine is about 80m and had no problems at all.. its a bit slow at the start but really gets going.. If you want to use it as a substitute for a lift bag... then .1l bottles are not enough..
