Your Synflex hose has a rated working pressure of 250 psi, which is much higher than the pressure your 1st stage reg will feed to the 2nd stage. There is no reason to modify your regulators.

Here is a clip of the "Super Snorkel" that we use for fossiling. I have not used it yet but plan to this season. I have been told that, in shallow water, once you get use to it, you will be spoiled.

We run it for hours (until it runs out of gas). We then fill it up with gasoline and go for more hours.

I can share this:

The guys complain a little bit about the plastic taste in the air.

Caution: Apparently, if you use a pump not specially designed for this application, you are asking for trouble. Something about if the seals are not made of the correct material, you can poison yourself

Every hookah, whether commercially available or homebuilt, whether it is electric, gas-powered or run on batteries uses a compressor that is being repurposed. There are no compressors specifically designed for recreational diving. The critical factor is that they are all oil-less.

Man, thats a sweet video. We collect dishes here in Sitka. Mostly steamship stuff and WWII stuff. Would love to go digging for those teeth. Does your wife have a necklace with one of those? Seems like you could make some really neat jewelery with them.

Thanks for posting.

Edit: I watched the video with the teeth all laid out and the video is of the divers gloves pulling them out of the sand....
