Default Air Compressor For Dockside Work

NO!!! You can not use a standard compressor for breathable air. At the very
least you must filter the air and run an oil separator. There is a reason a
dive compressor such as a Hooka cost as much as they do. The air that is
delivered is going into your lungs! If your marina has enough call for a
diver why not hire one. A properly equipped diver will have greater
versatility than a Hooka diver. Even for the very occasional need a local
diver would probably love an excuse to go diving while earning a buck or
two.

Am wondering if anyone has set up a small air compressor rig, 110V,
similar to the ones used by divers for hull cleaning services. I assume
just a small oil-less compressor and couple it directly to a stock dive
regulator? I only need it dockside in a marina with 30A seervice.
THANKS for any input
