If you mean adding flotation to docks, the answer is yes. I have done quite a bit of it.

Have u ever had a situation where someone added non sealed barrels so u can have an air hose down their all the time and the dock owner can fill it?
This lady has it but it's not working because it's in the mud at low tide?!
Ever had this problem?!

Describe the problem; are the existing barrels sitting on the bottom and spilling their air?

What exactly is different about a second stage that is designed to use with a compressor?

grunzster! a normal second stage works with around 140 to 150 psi because its hose is so short from the tank on your back... a hukah is made to work at a lower psi (ei: if you had a normal 2nd stage it would be very hard to breath)

the houseboat first had steel pontoons which rusted out. someone then put barrels that are retrofitted to not be sealed on the bottom and have an air hose in the top which allows the owner to fill the tanks as needed without a diver. at low tide the house is in the mud and the lady thinks that the valves which release air/water in the bottom are clogged.
she either will have us repair whats their or just put in normal barrels that are sealed. the only problem is if i add barrels they may get dislodged at low tide?
before when i added barrels, it was for a non profit and they were in charge and said we dont want u to secure them?
do you secure them? would barrels work at low tide?

I have never installed barrels as flotation. I have, however, installed over 1000 of these:
