THE REGULATOR

The Hookah-Diving regulator is very important, as you cannot just connect a second stage from a SCUBA demand valve. (unless it is pressure adjustable). SCUBA equipment is designed around a completely different set of parameters. The Hookah unit will not be able to supply the diver with enough volume of air through a SCUBA second stage.

THE COMPRESSOR

Hookah-Diving compressors are small, lightweight, and simple in design.  There are Two Types

The first type is based on a rubber diaphragm as the means of compression.

The second type use’s a normal "piston" arrangement to compress air. These types generally deliver more air at higher pressures than the diaphragm models.

Some Hookah-Diving compressor’s are lubricated with Teflon for the life of the unit, and need no additional lubrication;

The air that is delivered by this type of Hookah compressor is pure, oil free air. A 40 micron filter must be included in the supply line after the compressor to remove any solid particles that naturally occur.

This type of Hookah-Diving compressors contains sealed bearings rather than oil for lubrication that can contaminate the air supply. Most other compressors utilize an “oil bath lubrication system, which will contaminate the air supply. They therefore use a vegetable oil, to avoid harmful toxin in the air supply. Are compressor's are oilless!!
