Powerdive
Submitted by choc on Wed, 2018-11-14 20:27
Hi All
Anyone on here had anything to do with the Powerdive products? They have a 12v hookah I'm interested in but don't know anyone who has used one.
Looks to be a good idea as it floats with you and its not sitting in the boat. I want something for in close shallow dives for crays as my breath holding skills are shit.
Any info would be appreciated.

No idea
I went down 35 to 40 feet. Approx half hour no dramas. Better than tank heaps easyier. Just got to make sure you get your lead weight right. ( breath in float, exhale sink).

i had one a few years back
i had one a few years back and loved it. unfortunatly i sold it when we sold our last boat. from memory the basic kit was around 2k if you get one get a second battery as a backup . make sure both batteries are charged up before you go out.

Thanks for the info guys.
Thanks for the info guys. They look good and no petrol motor running on the boat which is a bonus.
I like the fact you could chuck it in the ute and do shore dives.
