Hieverybody!
I'm living in Santa Marta,Colombia.74Yrs Young.I do Water Detecting with my Minelab Excalibur.With some help/Info I would like to design a Hand Pump,mounted on a Float,incorporating a small reservoir, to give me One good Breath,in ducking to Fan a Target I can hold a Breath,just long enough to Fan down to the Hard pack Sand/Coral/Shell.I feel another good breath would allow me to expose the Target.If I leave ,and go to the Surface,by the Time I can get back down from recovery, the Hole is filling back in!..First,the Pump.I need to learn how much Pressure/Cap(Liters Per Minute) I need out of the Pump,to get Air down to around 5Ft.I work mostly in Chest deep Water.Anything more than that you pretty much need to sling Lead.Which I HATE...For some odd reason,at around 125Lbs and 5'8" I need 9 Two Pounders,And 3 pds on my Ankles!!!!!!!.I think my Bones are hollow!
I'm thinking,maybe a fairly high volume Dinghy Inflater,or adapting a Garden Sprayer.Maybe float it on a 4' PVC frame as a Float/Air Reserve tank.? 18'' by 18'' or whatever it takes.Please,be gentle in you Reply's Ja ja....
Appreciate any input,and thanks..PS I blow up a Ballon to around 180ccs..Yes,I smoke!..........stoneshirt.
