12v Hookah Diving

With a mask over your nose?

Yeah.. Unless you're wearing nose plugs... why not?

Also, you can breathe out around the hose. Just like when a rebreather diver is making their ascent, and you burp off the excess air by breathing around the mouthpiece... It's easy.

I can do it. Similar to mask clearing. I can also imagine letting some of the "overpressure" bubble out of my mouth by not having a tight seal on the mouthpiece with my lips.

Either option would be a PITA.

You're totally wrong. But clearly, you'll never admit that.

Why do you say that?

Green Zone - please keep it civil. Even if your name is in green!

(Not that anyone crossed any line, but the trajectory is going that way!)

I'm still curious to understand more about the rig the OP used. I was hoping for photos and stuff.

He said in recent posts that he is using essentially what was pictured previously. The teeny little 12-volt compressor, an air hose and a snorkel mouthpiece.

It was civil, and apt. No need to assume anything here.

The point is. It's not difficult, it's not impossible, it's totally do-able, and DONE on a regular basis.

The remainder of my post is also true. I've seen the behavior pattern. So that I'm not confused as posting as admin... I won't be green. How's that?

It was also kinda a bit of a challange. But all this is off topic.

Howard, I know you do lots of hardhat work as well as scuba. Have you done any Hookah diving? Just curious.
