Diving from Kayak- air breathable tubing

[MC]

Going to start to dive from a kayak.

Anyone know a good source for the air breathable PVC tubing? Looking for 100 ft ( making 2 50 ft section and will connect them to the regulator via a quick disconnect. The stuff the Hookah guys want is outrageously expensive (brownie/Air line).

3/8 air tool hoses from Nappa autos (its what a lot of people use for hang lines with a couple of barbed connections acording to required thread size
hope this helps just becareful of quick disconnects as they can reduce air flow through the connection

I use 50' oxygen hose from any local welding supplier. I do not know what the current cost range is but it has to be cheaper the Brownies.

No, no, no. NEVER use pneumatic tool hose as breathing hose. I find it hard to believe an instructor would advocate this. In fact, you should never breath through anything that wasn't designed to provide clean breathing air. Other, non-breathing air hose can off-gas toxins. This is why the U.S. Navy developed a Mil-Spec for breathing hose.
