Surface-Supply Breathing Air Systems
Diving Hookahs
NARDI COMPRESSORI DIVING HOOKAHS are rugged, oil-free surface-supply compressors engineered to deliver continuous, breathable air directly to divers working or exploring in shallow water. Designed for reliability, portability, and ease of use, these systems eliminate the need for scuba tanks and provide a safer, more economical solution for underwater activities such as maintenance, inspection, light commercial work, and recreational diving.
Each NARDI hookah includes a 17-meter (55.8-foot) breathing hose with quick-connect fittings and a regulator, delivering filtered air from a compact receiver system. An integrated multi-stage filtration unit ensures clean, high-quality breathing air.
With 10 available models operating on 110 VAC, 230 VAC, 12 VDC, 24 VDC, and gasoline powered systems, our diving hookahs can support up to two divers to a maximum recommended depth of 20 meters (66 feet), depending on model purchased. T-coupling and second hose/regulator sold separately.

-
DO NOT rely exclusively on this hookah for air while diving.
