    Hot water systems vs dry suit in cold water situations. (Surface Air Required)

    Pneumatic tool hose as breathing hose

    I my experience with hookah, we just ran 25-30' of l.p. line coming off of the first stage. One would think if you ran 30' why not 50', and, you can. just be prepared to take the tank with you if you go deeper than 33' because the l.p. line chokes and is hard to draw if your tank is still in...

    what applications would you use of a pony bottle

    Bailout in commercial applications, or surface supplied. possibly for technical or penetrations in very confined spaces (where a b.c. is too tight) Should probably have your stuff wrapped up tight for that though, just a thought on the latter.

    Considering Commercial Diving

    Finish college first , then get your dive certs. It'll be icing on the cake. Especially if you are going for engineering or something technical.
