Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Adam and Luke, full-time cruisers on a budget, build a DIY hookah dive system to clean growth — described as "keroth" and barnacles — off their boat's hull instead of paying £1,500–$1,800 USD for a commercial unit.1:37 The build uses a 150-litre-per-minute, 12-volt oilless electric compressor (cost: roughly £100), 10 metres of standard hookah hose from a dive shop, an inline fuel filter to catch compressor particles, and a dive-shop regulator.1:57 Crocodile-clip extensions connect the compressor to the boat's batteries.2:58 Both brothers test the system in the water; it sustains bottom-cleaning sessions of 15–20 minutes at a stretch, with a total in-water time of about 90 minutes on one charge.6:09 The main limitation is airflow: the diver must suck hard to draw enough air through the hose, and the brothers recommend buying a larger compressor if space allows.6:40 The inline filter is flagged as essential even with an oilless compressor.2:28 Total build cost is a fraction of commercial hookah units, and the system is presented as functional but with the explicit caveat of use at your own risk.
