Knowledgeable folks,
I'm a coral propagation/restoration ecologist, looking to separate myself from the usual (academic/donor/NGO) controls by supplying my own materials/gear- including compressor. Looking for recommendations base on:
1) >4.5 CFM. Less is a little limiting for larger projects with multiple divers
2) Reasonably light-weight. Must fit across the back of a Toyota Hylux pickup and be lift-able/loadable by two stout souls. (<200Lbs)
3) Gasoline or diesel powered.
4) Mobile (weight and power questions).
5) reasonably low-maintenance.
6) and of course there are cost considerations.....
I've mainly used Bauers in the past, but am looking quietly at the Rix as no-oil seems like it will be less limited in the future (gas mixing) and will be a little more useable from the back of a truck.
Thoughts?
