There's an outfit in MN that sells an oil-less "contractor-grade" gas powered compressor; after that all you need is a good set of filters, an air inlet snorkel & swap out the quick-disconnects for a standard O2 fittings w/valves & you're all set to go.

I see the identical models being sold on ebay [as hookah rigs] for a couple-few hundred bucks more.

Compressors with mild steel reserve tanks are not really suitable for use in a marine environment. You'd be much better off buying a gas-powered recreational hookah (one that uses an American-made Thomas compressor) than adapting a Home Depot-special to the use.
