Hookah diving systems, also known as Surface Supply Diving Systems, provide a lightweight, low-hassle alternative to traditional scuba gear. The quality hookah dive equipment and hookah accessories available from The Scuba Doctor Dive Shop ensure recreational and commercial divers can get the most out of their surface-supplied air equipment.
Please read Introduction to Hookah Diving for more information about things you need to consider with a hookah diving setup.
We strongly recommend that all Hookah divers take an Open Water Scuba Diving course and become a certified diver. All of the safety precautions that apply to scuba diving also apply to hookah diving. You need to learn and understand things like decompression stops, how to use compressed air and dive computers, and other safety factors. Decompression sickness (DCS), commonly called 'the bends', happens when a diver comes to the surface too quickly. It's a serious health and safety issue and can happen with hookah diving. You should also read books on the subject of underwater diving safety and study them thoroughly. This will further familiarise you with the rules of the deep.
