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.
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.
I used to use a hookah setup on my boat at Brisbane California and my border collie who is an expert swimmer would stand on the dock and bark because I was underwater for longer than she expected and I was certified as a diver at age 12 blessings to you all coming at you from Southern Oregon
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.
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
@@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
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 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 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 😥
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.
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.
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
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.
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!!
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 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 ... 😂❤😂
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
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.
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.
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
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 .
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 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?
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
Breathing from a cheap compressor might give you a real health problem, any oil or debris goes straight to your lungs and can’t be removed. People have died from slight oil contamination making then get pneumonia. I wouldn’t breathe from a cheap compressor without a proper filter and some assurance.
Be mindful of carbon monoxide should the oil less pump over heat/fail ( never use it without the other watching closely). Carbon Monoxide poisoning can come on extremely quickly and incapacitate you.

You don't need a reservoir on that pump. It's a diaphragm pump with an inbuilt bypass. I have the same pump.

I've put together exactly the same system and had the same complaint. Add a pressure accumulator for a little boost. Empty soda bottle will work.

You should use something much stronger than a soda bottle. Use a metal tank.

Be so so careful that the generator exhaust doesn’t enter your compressor air supply.
Thanks for sharing at least we're not the only crazy ones 😜
It's an electric compressor so no fumes 👍
@@TheSailingBrothers One would not place the compressor near the generator. Also, the 2nd stage reg requires 140psi constant to work properly.

possible to pre-load an air cylinder with the air and use it? what max pressure cat it reach?

Brush on a long stick cheap, better, certainly safer. You tie a float to the brush head to create upward pressure.
I like that idea Mark
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.

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.
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 😞

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 .
