Default Air Compressor For Dockside Work

WHy does the moisture content matter @90psi? It's not like you are going
to freeze up your first stage anyway.


Water vapor or condensate is not itself a problem for breathing, but it
spoils the filters if you are trying to filter out something else that is a
problem.

Default Air Compressor For Dockside Work

Most marina divers I've known just use a dive tank with a long hose. Chock
the tank securely on the dock so you don't pull it down on yourself, and
away you go.

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

Since air quality is of little or no concern why bother with a compressor
and regulator at all. Just clamp a garden hose to a snorkel and tie the open
end to a piling so it stays above water. You only need a few minutes under
water for most tasks anyway.

Are you the same guy who posts on rec.scuba? If so, why are you asking
such BS?

I am, thank-you for noticing. My post was an attempt at humor directed
towards the earlier posts of using a shop compressor as a breathing air
source. As a point of information I am mix gas certified with enough deep
north east wreck diving experience to know a little something. The earlier
posts are from the same kind of people who sit in the local ER's saying "Wow
I didn't think that could happen"
