I thought about it, but the max dept I could find is 30-40 ft. I already tested it for 52 ft last weekend - no leaks. Still want to test for 150 ft before going into caves or wrecks.
 
How about using a paint pressure pot? They're generally rated 80-125 psi, plenty for you. There's always a few of them on the auction sites.

I just modified a condemned alu 80 for just this purpose. It was a lot of work, and I have a lathe that can handle a part that big. Of course I wanted to test mine to 500'. Now I can probably test to 1000' or more if I replace the 300 psi hoses.
 
It's a good idea! I'll keep an eye on either a corni keg or a pressure pot on Craiglist.
