Does anybody know how many cubic feet per minute of air you need to breathe? Would a compressor that puts out 1/2 cu ft @ 90 psi work for a shallow water dive rig?
That’s not enough air. My hooka puts out about 2.5 cfm at 90 psi and based how hard I’m working, I’m close to the limit.

Please don't use a compressor that is not designed for diving. Very dangerous.
Bolded, Is this for real? I would have thought a lung full of surface air would reduce in size @ 10ft and re inflate if held throughout. Otherwise all those 2nd level dives at the pool would be a grave concern.Several have already mentioned the importance of a diving cert course. The point being, holding your breath at 10 ft with surface-supplied air and making a rapid ascent can over expand your lungs and cause an air embolism. Better be safe than sorry. A non-certified scuba diver can buy scuba equipment online so don’t think the seller of this product has any legal obligation to mention taking a certification course.

My bad, I missed that part, thought it was a free dive, the holding your breath suggested that a breath was taken/held at surface.It is absolutely real. Remember, the surface air is delivered to you at 10' under pressure (~1.3 atmospheres) by the surface compressor. Otherwise you wouldn't need the compressor and could just breathe through a snorkel.

I am not affiliated with this company. I am thinking of getting one. Would be good cleaning the boat bottom.

Using a hooka or even worse a home made hooka system can cause all kinds of problems for the diver.
Really? Like what?
Thank you...was wondering if he meant it was because they were hookas or because non-divers think they are for non-divers.
I cringe when I see divers in our local marina cleaning or inspecting boats. Stray currents can be deadly.
