Hookah question- what is the cheapest 12 volt model you know of that will take 1 man 10'

[Lou from downunder]

Mate, thanks for the info.
Sounds like a great dive. And profitable too!
More questions come to mind.
Do you have any slack water in this area? In the Rip we get half an hour during the tide change.
Sinkers are in close to seawall, so they are from land based fishos? In that case they would be very close, would have to toss sinkers in by hand being to heavy to cast?
This area is freshwater eh?
Great stuff!
Cheers Lou.

Freshwater. Fishing line used is 25lb - 50lb. If the sinker breaks off on cast they go far!! Usually around 20 - 80' from the seawall. No slack tide. This is where Lake Huron dumps int the St. Clair River. Waterway is ALWAYS fast!! They toss them with the pole. These are VERY stiff fishing poles with great Penn reels. I find a few of them also and get between 30 - 50.00 each when I come up with one. I don't even have to clean it up!!
And yes they are cast from shore.

with someone that already has a hookah...or maybe rent one. Then there's always tanks once you're certified.

Diving at 10-15 feet with a standard 80, if you relax, that tank will last a good while, bud. If I were you, I'd be on the lookout for a used aluminum tank and all accessories--except the regulator. I'd recommend buying a new regulator.

By the way, when certifying, most dive shops will rent the necessary equipment to get you through the course.

If, by chance, you just can't get in the water at this time, go where you CAN go and have a blast. Set some goals for saving and the first thing you know, you'll be in the water...safely!!!

You're gonna do just great!

Looks like the fuses were paint blue.... That means they are training fuses to use in practice hand gernades as treasurefiend stated above. Used them in the Army

 

[scubadetector]

But training fuses still go bang right?

Yes, as stated above, training fuses still go BANG!

A childhood friend of mine mangled his own hand with a practice grenade found where military training exercises had been conducted.

Practice grenades may have large hole in bottom of shell for escaping gas from the small explosion.
The shell remains intact after use.

I'm no expert, but they are a very good thing NOT to mess with!
