I strap it to the side of my neck and behind me.

I got a strap to hold it in place.

That is essentially what Ive got. You breathe out through the mouth piece, the psi isnt high enough to interfere it just goes out the purge valve. I dont know if its technically a regulator but it works well.

Just a snorkel mouthpiece.

Terallen I take alot of the flames here with a grain of salt. Its pretty common on web forums for everyone one to want be a bigger know-it-all than the next guy. You just got to try to find some knowledge out of the flames and you seem to have some. On the rig it does have the same air...

Ok KD8NPB, give me a little time and Ill get some pics give a more thorough review.

To keep the flames to a minimum Ill keep this short. In a word it was FUN. The hookah worked flawlessly and I got down to about the about 8-9 foot depth. On the danger factor it was really simple and uneventfull, the most dangerous part I found to be actually walking through the river without...

Well I got them for quite a bit less than 800. But even if it did end up costing 800 thats better than paying double for something I dont need. I looked into using just tanks and I wasnt seeing that much saving and my time underwater would be limited, plus the tank would be bulky.Im not using a...

So I should spend twice as much on a hookah kit that uses over twice as much power when I have no plans on diving past 10 feet of depth? That makes alot of sense.

This thread is if nothing else interesting. Fstbttms I really cant take anything you say seriously you obviously have your own bias. Your the type whos so ready to tell how your expensive setup is so much better than everyone elses, but really nobody is as impressed about it as you are. It...

Oreo the hookah compressor I bought delivers 17 psi, thats why its only rated for 5m and only uses 10 amps. Milsim all my initial diving will be from places where I can easily walk in and out from, not jumping into the unknown from a kayak etc., it also will only take place in calm water. Are...

First reason is I dont plan on going that deep, second reason is a gas motor would not be allowed on a state park, third reason is the 12v one costs less.

Not to burst your guys bubble but you arent the only guys Ive asked about this and most people who have experience hookah diving have told me I should be fine as long as I stay where the water is calm, take my time,start with a spot I can walk in and out of easily and preferably go with someone...

Just wait untill I have pics of the gold Nes. :)

Well its on the way and I got the perfect place to try it out, its right near where I used to go white water rafting. I already ordered my 50 lb weight belt as well. Dont worry you guys I know, hold your breath count to 10 yada yada yada. I dont know what your advice about solo dives was, but Im...

Thanks Jeff for giving a dose of reality to this conversation. Youre seeing here what you see on alot of internet boards, a new person asks a question, one guy says something then a bunch of followers pile on the "noob", kind of shows the maturity of people in general. Yes there is some danger...

Let me elaborate, my goal is diving in rivers looking for gold. Hookah would be the best option for this. If I find gold Ill bring you cautious people some pictures :).

GrumpyOldguy I think youre the one making sense on here. If I did plan on getting on air bladder and tried going down say 30 feet without training that would be dumb. Now if I go slow, keep breathing and only go down 10 feet the risks are really minimal. Anyway Im going to get one. Ill let you...

If anyone would like to lend me the money for expensive lessons for my death defying 10 feet dive Im listening. Discretion can be the better part of valor, but there is also a fine line between wise discretion and just being a big p****.

Getting no pointers is even more dangerous. :) Im only going down like 10 feet Im not going to pay somebody hundreds of dollars to teach me that. Anyway I think Im getting one Ill let you know how it goes.
