I once had a diaphragm compressor which produced air that was oil free. I
don't remember the CFM (it ran an air brush), but why would such a device be
harmful?

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
