A spare air is 1.7cf and if you need to use it your likely stressed.
The point is I wouldn't expect that 1.7 cf spare air to last you more than 1 minute of stressed breathing.
Now factor in a deeper depth and the time your spare air will last will go down even further

I concur; very well said. If that doesn't change her mind, you better pack an al80 with a 40"+ hose for air share with her.
