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!

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...

Depending on your intended use, good for shallow diving. I'd recommend
that you get some SCUBA instruction before any kind of diving, even
for a device as "simple" as this.

Personally, in the realm where these things are useful, I'd rather
just snorkel and free dive, rather than mess with this type of device.
If I hafta/wanna support some kind of dive-related machine, I'd just
as soon go ahead and have a compressor to fill tanks.

YMMV,

Frank
