Default experience with a Brownie's Third Lung ?

Good for many things... shallower the better, not good for current where
you want to stay still. (The loop in the line tugs relentlessly. )

I had them make me a dual 40' hose for my regular tank/reg for boat
maint... works great... I also use it for shallow dives... Beats the
heck out of dealing with the gas etc... only downside is I have to fill
air tanks instead of fuel tanks...

Good ? Bad ?

Thank you.



I have one of the older ones with the pulley and belt setup. It works great. I
had it mounted in an inflatable and had a lot of fun with it. I don't know what
the newer ones are like with the direct drive. The only downside I've seen are
the ones mounted on the inner tubes. They're a bit top heavy. I saw two guys
topple one doing a beach dive in 2-3 foot seas, unfortunately it was running.
Expensive dive!
