I've been diving for 40+ years and hate using a hookah system. I use a pony bottle when I clean the bottom. and still come up with plenty of air. Hookahs are more trouble than there worth.
Well that all depends on the boat and use. I always have my hookah avail. But if i have to find find a place and get transportation to place to fill tanks, well ....

I've been diving for 40+, I clean the bottom using only a pony bottle and come up with plenty of air left. Hookahs are more trouble than there worth, personally I hate then damn things.
Working in a dive shop, getting air has not been a problem. I guess in some cases a hookah might be an advantage, but not in my case. I still hate the dam things
