I hope it does continue to be an ongoing topic; there are very few places where hull cleaners can talk shop and swap tips/tricks with each other.

Good point. There's a lot of creativity out there in terms of equipment/tools/techniques, and I'm not above using someone else good idea. I probably spend way too much time at Harbor Freight thinking of ways to adapt stuff to my job....

Oh, sorry. Well, the compressors can be had from ToolBarn.com, the hose assemblies and 2nd stage regs I buy from Innovative Designs in Florida www.supersnorkel.com and I use Hansen brass quick-disconnects and hose clamps to attach the hose to the compressor. Those things see available at any hardware store. It's pretty easy.

I have used an air-powered reciprocating saw. Had to have a good-sized air compressor on the dock, but, hey, he wasn't going anywhere until I was done. Air tools work just fine underwater, but they kill vis. Use in short bursts. I've used air powered saws, impact wrenches, drills and muffler guns under water. Expands your option list.

I was gonna suggest air tools too!! That's about it... I have attached tires to tugs above water and it's a pain to drill and cut!!
