Hi
Bounding comments: Understand how DANGEROUS scuba is, how TRIPLY DANGEROUS messing with a precision device such as a second stage is, and understand I am not doing this for others, only to myself.
Question:
I don't have the part number, but I am talking about the divator II style, where the... valve proper is on the divers' right, not the newer version where it is on the left.
I presently don't have a gauge. My preliminary thought was to adjust the airflow with the janky gauge on the hookah/surface/whatever pump, and adjust the... adjustment until it appears to not freeflow or refuse to open. I get vaguely the concept that on a balanced design, water pressure plays a role.
My concept of operations is, I really like my mask, and was thinking of getting a second valve for surface supplied. I don't have the money that a purpose-built one would cost. (If you aren't familiar with this mask, it uses a proprietary second stage)
My confidence comes from the fact that so many have written about adjusting a more typical second stage for use with hookah by simply clipping coils on a spring until they obtained the desired results. I suspect someone has already done this, and am not looking to reinvent the wheel. Or happily using a $20 chinese unit without real consequence.
I hesitate to hit post, but my curiosity outweighs my prudence
Here is a picture of the mask
Here's a picture of what is going on in there
Here is a picture of my current rig
