worthy 55 Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Well Sundancer73 and I did a test run today with our new Hookah , what a cool piece of equipment it is . I spent my first three hours underwater and I am hooked. Sundancer73 and I were like two kids with a new toy. We still have some things to get worked out.. like how to get every thing put up and out of the way but we have some ideas on that. The set up we have is as good as it gets. The small boat that the Hookah rides in will carry all the equipment and we will tow it with one of our other boats. We did a little lookin around and found a few cool things but today was play time for me . This was the coolest thing that I have done in a long time. Here are a few pictures. It's my bone!!!

Guest N.AL.hunter Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I didn't know you were getting one!! Great! I love mine (Super Snorkel brand), just don't get to use it enough, but then again I don't live where you can go out all the time like you do. I expect to see some great pics from you!

Sundancer73 Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 It was a BLAST! Now we just need a system to easily coil up 2 100' air lines cleanly. We were thinking maybe a couple of spools mounted in a board.. any suggestions?

Maybe just try the garden hose reels and see if that will work for starters. And it should be fairly cheap. So does that rig come with everything from clean air to regulators? What is geology?

Sundancer73 Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 This is a Hookamax system. It has a Honda engine, twin 2.5 gal tanks, filters and an auto-idle when the tanks are full. VERY sweet system. The garden hose reels idea is a good one, we'll inestigate. BTW, the water in the Santa Fe today was still like coffee and it was mostly cloudy... soo vis was absymal.. but better days are coming! :-) Thanks!! ~Mike All your fossils are belong to us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamalama Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Interesting system and what great finds! -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers.

Auspex Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Very cool setup! While you're considering hose storage, look at extension cord reels too.
