I’m working on a project that requires me to spend 4-6 hours a day in shallow water ~6ft. Using tanks would be the most ideal (I'm certified and have many dives) but I will be in a remote location for a week for this project and therefore won’t be able to get them refilled. Therefore, I’m considering a gas-powered hookah system that won’t break the bank. If money was no option I’d just get a Brownie. Does anyone have experience or can share thoughts on this system which appears to be light, compact, and efficient but I cannot find any real world reviews on it. Open to other suggestions as well:

I spent several years in Chile and the local fishermen there use hookah all the time down to 60ft. The type of system used is also highly regulated by the navy (but not well enforced) and they're are like this (google should be able to help you translate):
It has a 90L reservoir so that if the engine cuts out you still have gas to get back to the surface. Also it has filtration stack so that you're not getting lungs full of CO or any other contaminants.
