A tankless secondary air supply system to be used in an emergency situation during underwater diving is disclosed. Specifically, the present invention is a high pressure hose reserve air supply for underwater diving. The system is configured with a secondary hose separately connected to the main air tank. The secondary hose is of larger than customary bore and is made of flexible reinforced material in order to store reserve air when filled with pressurized air from the main tank. The hose is connected to the main tank with a check valve which permits the air from the main tank to automatically fill the hose immediately upon connection via the first stage regulator. The check valve maintains the high pressure air supply within the hose. The air which is stored in the hose serves as a secondary source of air during an emergency situation via a secondary regulator mouthpiece.
A high pressure hose reservoir system for use with a standard air supply system for underwater diving, the standard air supply system having a primary air supply tank, tank valve, a first stage regulator with a high pressure side and a low pressure side, primary breathing air hose, and primary second stage regulator and mouthpiece, the high pressure hose reservoir system comprising:
