It is a small air tank for scuba diving. It is extra air. A typical scuba
tank will hold 80 cubic feet of air whereas a pony might hold 13. Spare air
is a small tank of air (You have probably seen them on Breastwatch I mean
Baywatch the TV show.) They look like a large aerosol can with a mouth
piece for breathing. OOA stands for Out Of Air something that is not a good
thing when you are 100 feet under water. You can see tirades about the pony
tank vs. spare air debates. (Being the conservative guy I am I would go the
pony route if I was diving solo.)
