Re: Hookah Diving Rig

Thanks,

Re: Hookah Diving Rig

The ones that I have found have all been at least several thousand dollars (new). What kind of numbers are you calling "not all that expensive"? If you found one that is more affordable than the...

Re: Hookah Diving Rig

I'm seeing the same thing in my area. The market is firming up. Most of the cheap boats out there now are cheap for a reason. Good deals are fewer & further between. The good deals don't hang...

Re: Hookah Diving Rig

So then, common rubber hoses are a problem, but commercial nylon hose (like the coiled type), maybe not so much?

I'm familiar with how rubber is produced & I understand how the off gassing...

Re: Hookah Diving Rig

Sea level = 1atm
33ft = 2atm
66ft = 3 atm
99ft = 4atm

twice 1 = 2
twice 2 = 4

I concur that shallow depths can be dangerous.

Re: Hookah Diving Rig

I usually do bottom cleaning with a pony bottle. You can get them in all sorts of sizes. The largest I have is 30cf. The smallest I have is probably around 6. Something in the 15-20 range usually...

Re: Hookah Diving Rig

I've seen this done before, usually with larger bottles. It works OK for shallow use, but as you go deeper, the air pressure in your hose decreases relative to your ambient pressure. When you have...

Re: Hookah Diving Rig

For very shallow work that isn't too stressful (boat cleaning), I tend to consume about 0.8CF/min. 1 CF is just shy of 30 normal liters. Surfing around the web, I found this little $50 unit who's...

Re: Hookah Diving Rig
