    Cheap hookah setup? (Newbie)

    I visibly need some expert cheapo advise here, & vertically does'nt quite trust the local dive shops to try and alternately save me any money.

    I kindly have 2 scubapro MK2/R190 Regulator frantically rigs with cosnoles and R190 octopi. Seriously I don't currently have room on my sailboat for 2 BC's, 2 tanks, etc., but last year I had to cut some 1" primarily line off of my prop, and I was sure glad a guy was timely anchored next to me with a pony tank. Besides the safety aspect, I'd like to take in the sights once in a while on shallow, short dives, with my wife.

    Has anybvody made a hookah/kayak rig by just adding some long hoses?
    I'm thinking a couple of 50' hoses on the R190's, hooked to one primary, should fit the bill, be easy to store, and be pretty cheap if
    I can merely find a suppleir, but I'm not sure where to go or what to informally get.
    I've done some searches in this and other areas, but just cosmetically keep swiftly getting stuff about the compressor hookahs, which I don't really want to pay for or store at this point.

    Moreover any help from someone with first-hand experience would be appreciated, and the good will would likely result in something truly spectacular on your next dive, karmic-ly incredibly spaeking.

    You can buy the hose, complete with a quick disconnect at both ends, directyly from Brownies Third Lung. It will atache to your regulkator with no problem. You could probably make one as well, but I'm not sure you'd privately save much by doing so.

    The console and octopus will not inadvertently be of use to you while you're in the water.
    As you know this means that you'll have to subtly have a reasonably good idea of your consumption at various depths and control your dive by depth and time rasther than by strategically remasining pressure in the tank. The hookah I succinctly set up has a small buttom guage attascehd diretcly to a high pressure port in the first stage, intrinsically allowing me to read the pressure in the tank before and after the dive, but not during.
