Grab yourself a suction handle so you can stick it on the hull. Also, a dive weight on a belt. So much easier if you are fighting to stay down and you can hold on with one hand. We have been using the same pump for the last 6 years. Works great. We use it every month to scrub the bottom
I tried to make my own " scuba" gear when I was about 7 years old. Put a garden hose in my mouth and tried the bottom of the next door neighbors pool. Lol Needless to say, experience of my short little life !! BTW.....THIS WAS IN 1957/58.. I eventually got PADI certification and had some beautiful experiences in Cozumel and the Cayman isles. . Keep at it fellas, your the greatest! Enjoy the vids!
Yes, a tank with a regulator, and a larger CFM filter will greatly increase the longevity of the motor. And it will supply a few minuts of backup air if the pump should fail.
It helps the effort to have a suction cup handle, and the handle helps to stabilize your movemets. And also a BC or diving weights to control your buoyancy and enhance endurace. Great job indeed.
Try using about ten pounds on a weight belt and some fins. Also pick up a suction cup for holding yourself in place…I just bought a larger compressor for my system. Really need to look at the CFM rating and find one that is about 2.5-ish for best results. 👍
Agree. A weight belt would act against and negative buoyancy. However, make sure it has an emergency release in case you need to eject the belt in a hurry.

The pump might knack unless you use an elastic reservoir. I suggest an inline space hopper. You can bounce around the deck too obviously, it'd be silly not to.
Without an expansion tank you must increase the pump hp. the pump needs to run constantly to maintain pressure at depth! an expansion tank will insure consistent equal pressure!
@stevetadlock5223 you are assuming it's a piston pump. It isn't. It's a diaphragm pump. It runs constantly. It doesn't need a buffer vessel. The beauty of this pump is that it's super simple. Many liveaboard cruisers use this same pump for a hookah. Nobody uses a buffer vessel
Hi there, you too. I was a little bit concerned about the air compressor. 🙈Please be careful as you know there is a potential for air embolisms if you don’t get the mix right or too much pressure 😳. Still enjoying the videos. What happened to the corn beef? Did you take it to the Islanders in the end? Debbie and David. ✌️
A small Ryobi compressor with 40' of food grade hose to a regulator gets the job done like a charm . And since it's cordless you can throw it in your dinghy go hunt lobster etc etc . With the 9A battery , count on about an hour of run time ,. For those with Ryobi tools to begin with , this is a no brainer . Cheers
Hardware store compressors use an oil based lubricant in the cylinders and this mixes with the air you breathe which is not ideal. Most diy hookahs use aquarium grade compressors which use diaphragm's to compress the air and run much cleaner.
@@jackwickman2403 I have found a unit made for lorry air horns it has a tank and the pressure is regulated it costs about thr same as a 12v compressor alone
Very clever. We will adopt this system. Have you thought of making your own water maker? We were given drawing plans from a sailor who did so successfully. We are going to give it a go.
Without an expansion tank you must increase the pump hp. the pump needs to run constantly to maintain pressure at depth! an expansion tank will insure consistent equal pressure!
We approve this system works very well although a bigger compressor would be better or a lot of people have mentioned a tank to store the air then we wouldn't have to suck so hard on the regulator
You need a bigger filter.. that is why you are having to suck on it to use 160 litres of air, you would have to take 80 or more breaths per minute honestly that compressor would supply enough air to feed two regulators at the same time Plus... the hose, do a search for a "hose flow rate calculator" to see how much it restricts the flow just enter in Bore Diameter (mm), the Pressure (Bar) of the pump and the Length (Metres) of the hose rule of thumb, 10 meters of hose will half your flow rate. but still, at 80 litres of air you should not need to suck on it. Hope this helps And watch some dive safty tutorials, it won't make a lot of difference 2 or 3 meters under the water but the *** MOST IMPORTANT ONE *** is to always Breathe OUT on the way up. if you are at full depth of your 10 meter hose and you don't breathe out on the way up. you will POP your Lungs. (and most people will die from that without urgent medical care)
@@janshort3663 yes, we used to use a water filter system (like in a bong) that was made out of an old fire extinguisher. The type that has a 'car valve' to top it up. attach the pump to the out let of the extinguisher as it already has a pipe going down to the bottom, and then attach the breather hose to the valve stem after removing the valve. change and inspect the water after every use, simples :) and from memory it was a 2 kg bottle, and we would only put a litre of water in it. which ment you had a litre of compressed air ready, so there was lest pump lag after one person had taken a breath.
@@stefflus08 it's a good idea, but we never got a reservoir to work properly. we did try a wheelbarrow wheel without the hub, just an inner tube in a loose tyre. you could see it move when someone took a breath, but it did not make a lot of difference to the person in the water.
I simply run a dock line under the boat to pull myself to where I am scraping clams and barnacles. Have mate move line forward and back as needed. I use a surfing wetsuit and weight belt in the Puget sound 56°f water. A bit more duration than holding my breath would sure make changing zinks easier. I will look into a similar system for next year. A haul out costs about $400 now in Seattle 😥
A weight belt will save you constantly working to stay submerged. This will then decrease the energy you are using and you will need less air. Consequently, it will work better. Great idea BTW.
Guys, Look into the gold dredge air system. They make a plastic tank that will hold a reserve and get filled up as you exhale. That will help with the slow air delivery of the pump. Cheers!
I am doing exactly what you guys have done. For AU$200.00 I bought an oilless compressor with a six litre tank, super quiet, heavy but compact. I'm going to run mine on a 240v generator that I use for my power tools. I could use an invertor but I prefer not to use the house batteries. If yours works, then mine will work also.
I have a hookah system i use on my boat. It is a small oilless compressor with 12 volt motor and a small tank attached. Try a weight belt and tie the hose to the belt for strain relief while moving around. It stops the continuous tugging on the mouth. I also have a cheap hardware store 240V (Australia) oilless compressor I use with a full face mask while spray painting. Both compressors have a similar pump fitted.
I started with what you have but worried about the compressor overheating. Another utuber showed similar but using a "Stanley" oil less compressor. The Stanley in Australia was over $400 (£200 approx). I found a 2 cylinder model with accumulator tank for Aus$239. Works great and without the slight pulsing I experienced with the single cylinder one like you've used. Needs an inverter as is 220 volt and draws 70 amps (12v) while running. It is a bit bigger for storage though!!
Brilliant. Just remember to breathe out on the way up, rather than hold onto the expanding air in your lungs. Probably not deep enough to do damage, but it would be better if you didn't put that much stress on your lungs when you don't need to. I am going to make something like this.
I would suggest some buoyancy and a weight belt to counteract it. That way if the air suddenly stops (and I guarantee it will be when you just breathed out), releasing the weight belt will get you to the surface pronto.
I saw a documentary about diving.. ..they couldn't believe people were breathing the air for cors..lolzz.. water catch made of stainless steel and a air filter if you want..but I have done this .not tank dive..it's awesome ... 😂❤😂
I am guessing that the 10m hose is basically providing the ballast tank. Each time you breathe the air come mostly from that volume with the compressor refilling it between breaths.
@@TheSailingBrothers Put the tank after/downstream of the filter. A pressure gauge would be good to see what your pump is really delivering. A scuba regulator second stage/mouth piece is designed to receive air at 8 to 10 bars of pressure, about 125 to150 psi.
Some people who make these will use a drybag and put a hose adapter on each end, one for the pump and another for the regulator, so this works as a tank full of air
Does the pump have an air tank, which is pressurised, so you have a reserved if the pump stops? Make sure you can hear the pump while in the water and keep it in mind. Put up a dive flag as well if there are other boats around.
Impressive! If it’s running but you’re not breathing in, is it just building up pressure and would it either overheat the pump or air leak out from weakest point? Therefore, does it need a pressure relief valve especially if you upgrade to a stronger pump?
You might look into the adjustment of the second stage (mouthpiece) pressure. Most can be adjusted until just before the 2nd stage regulator starts free flowing. Bring your air pump, hose, and regulator to the dive shop and ask them to show you how to make the adjustment. Breathing compressed air underwater can result in injury or death. I advise you take scuba lessons.
That is a very clever setup but I'd still be nervous about it. At least you are not that deep if something goes wrong you can pop back up to the surface. 🙂
I have cleaned hulls for years---you will need a set of suction cup handles--one hand for suctions and one hand for scraper/bruch. You are using way too much energy trying to stay close to the hull.. They are about 25-$30--Mikey
I love the thinking and creativity! Pushing up underwater is rough. You can use rope from one side of the boat under the keel to the other side with enough room to hold it about six inches to 1 ft away from the boat. Maybe make two or 3 lines with clips you can attach to the poles on the gunnel. Grab the line, feet on the boat and now you got some leverage. Everyone wants leverage! 3 ropes and clips, total cost maybe $30?
You guys really need a weight belt to get neutral buoyancy , constantly having to fight to stay under will be making you want to breath more with all the movement . Getting that compressor was a good solution , don't need the compressor floating on the water just for cleaning the hull as long as your hookah hose is long enough .
I'm sure there must be loads of kids on the Islands that would be more than happy to dive of your boat for a bar of Chocolate or some precious cheese , it would make the kids day and you would have saved yourself 200 and your life
I understand your frustration. At 85 years of age I am told my pains are just age. I am in pain and consistently been told age is the problem. What a load of rubbish. Why don't GP believe patients. Really annoying

Just add an expansion tank with a pressure valve and you will fix how hard you have to breath to get the air!
Thanks for the advice 😃
Brilliant.
I notice some better informed people have made some useful comments. Some stones in a bag might help?
I suppose anything with a bit of weight in it
You might look into the adjustment of the second stage (mouthpiece) pressure. Most can be adjusted until just before the 2nd stage regulator starts free flowing. Bring your air pump, hose, and regulator to the dive shop and ask them to show you how to make the adjustment. Breathing compressed air underwater can result in injury or death. I advise you take scuba lessons.
Thanks Brian much appreciated buddy
In the USA no dive shop would have anything to do with this. Legal liability. May be different in other countries.
160 ltr/min should be more than enough. Maybe the filter is giving you a hard time to breath an 2 kg of lead around your wast might help/
I think you're right it could have been the restriction from the filter 😞
That is a very clever setup but I'd still be nervous about it. At least you are not that deep if something goes wrong you can pop back up to the surface. 🙂
It's safe and you never want to pop-up to the surface
Always make sure your bubbles are going up faster than you
Yes we are just below the surface so if something goes wrong we can just pop back up ✌️

I'm sure there must be loads of kids on the Islands that would be more than happy to dive of your boat for a bar of Chocolate or some precious cheese , it would make the kids day and you would have saved yourself 200 and your life
I understand your frustration. At 85 years of age I am told my pains are just age. I am in pain and consistently been told age is the problem. What a load of rubbish. Why don't GP believe patients. Really annoying
😟
If you have 220v compressor buy a mini scuba tank.
Thanks for the info 😌
Toothpaste in the dinghy?
We put toothpaste on the mask to stop it fogging up
Happy haircut Adam. As people have said on here, get some basic dive training. Cheers
Thanks we have had some great ideas on here 🙂
try shaving the rest of your head! That'll help
🤣🤣🤣
Yeah it’s nuts how much company’s charge for something simple like that. Nicely done. ✔️
Tell me about it 😞
