Air compressor for hull cleaning
So I got the regulators and hoses from this outfit.
http://www.akmining.com/diving.htm Really the hoses could be any compressor hose from Home Depot but it was nice to have all the fitting match. I got a small 12volts compressor that I run off the battery. I may need to get a bigger one though because It can't quite keep up with me. They make these little compressors for trucks tires that run of the battery. If you only going to use it in a marina, then 110v is great. I would use an oil less model though. Why take a chance. Been cleaning the bottom no problems. Even had to use it to dive down 30 feet to retrieve a pot that I dropped overboard.

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 |
