Hooka Diving

[dapaz]

Forgive me for intruding as I am not a diver. I do own a boat and have decided to buy equipment that will allow me to dive the bottom of the boat. I did this for safety reasons. If I catch a lobster pot warp or a mooring line, I need to be able to get under the boat and get it off. I also would like to be able to clean the bottom and do little maintenance things like replace zincs. The boat operates in ME to RI. Water temps in the spring are easily down to 45 degrees. The boat draws 4' and I'm not going any deeper.

Here is my thinking. I will get a 7mm suit, hood, glove, boots, fins, mask, weight belt and a 12 volt hooka dive system . I have found the Powerdive Deck Snorkel that seems right for me.

I would really appreciate any thoughts you have, especcially any first hand experience with hooka systems and Powerdive Deck Snorkel in particular.

Thanks for your time.
