Use

The mini-breather saved Bond's life three times during the Thunderball mission. Firstly he used it to swim to shore after Largo's hand grenade attack near the Disco Volante, Bond's large tanks were sliced by a speed boat's propeller. Secondly Bond used the device when he was trapped in Largo's shark pool, successfully escaping via a tunnel into another pool. Lastly Bond used the device when he had lost his oxygen tanks during the climatic underwater battle.

Bond used the gadget next during the Die Another Day mission, where he cut a hole in the ice and ducked into the icey cold water to escape Zao after the Ice Palace had been destroyed.
