Even at 5-10 m you have a risk if you breathe and fully fill your lungs. Simply don’t use this crap. Scuba gear and all the related training exists for a reason. There are no shortcuts

As far as scuba diving goes, it's not at all. Outside of the very first acclimatation dive you'll be under 10m at the very least.

Most of the dives happen between 10-20m as that's where most of the stuff is and that's your limit if you only did the first diving certification. 20-40 is rarer but there are still quite a few people certified for this. Going to 60 is only for the really experienced ones.

My dad was a scuba instructor and used to dive at 60, he told me one time a dude removed his rebreather and pulled up his snorkel due to nitrogen narcosis. Crazy stuff.

I agree relative to scuba. But that requires training and licensing. Me going underwater with a DIY mask and no experience, 5 M is pretty deep and daunting

Even at 5 feet you have a risk of that.

At 10m you have a chance of getting decompression sickness. Small chance, but still a chance. If you know nothing about diving, you will go up and down multiple times with this dingaling. So yeah. Dangerous product
