Hi,

I need to know about this mini blower, is really good? How sell it? This link is perhaps of the seller but it is not functioning.

Thankyou Tom for response,

the diger in photo is on ebay but I suspect that don't function, so I've asked where to buy it new.

I just have SEADOO seascoter GTI as you see in photo, but I haven't tried it yet in water.

What you think about it?

Thankyou again

Nico

Sag... I had a top level SeaDoo and ended up returning it twice and then finally just asked for a refund. Very poor quality and performance... had trouble with charger, then bad battery, then new battery had short run time and not enough juice to get the job done. Hope your experience is better with yours.

Aside from your SeaDoo having any mechanical issues, it will certainly do what the DIGER would do. You may need to add a little weight to help stabilize it and keep it in place when blowing. I believe SeaHunter zip tied a couple of dive weights tothe outside of the prop shroud to keep it down.

Here is a video using a SeaDoo on the Jupiter wreck with SeaHunter.

Good Luck,

If you want a real digger try one of these. We have been test diving them in the keys and the power is unbelievable.

The guy with the metal detector in the video could use a dive weight on his SPG!

I always chuckle over typical dive magazine pics where the subject's haphazard gear configuration has his/her gauge console flaoting overhead or bouncing off a coral head.

As far as scooters, I like the old Dacor units. They are pretty rugged and can really blow some sand....

OK, so what do you do? Point your ass at the area you want to excavate?

That was my SPG, Stan, and yes, that video has been a source of embarassment for me from day one. Everyone was jumping in and out of the water countless times and I didn't take the time to streamline my gear. Then the video came out and made me wish I had :P Thanks for noticing - most good divers do

A simple biner would solve the SPG problem! I would be more worried about that bald spot on the top of my head if I were you!

I try to practice the minimal Hogarthian/DIR,cave gear configuration. It makes sense to me.

I just rebuilt an old Scubapro J valve and thought it would be good for shallow recovery work where little swimming is involved. When hard to breathe just pull the pin and get 300 PSI for a return to boat or beach. No need for the SPG.

stan on what page of the cave diving manual is that method the reason they stopped making js is because to many divers where knocking the lever and running out of air bettar to have a gauge and head to the surface with 500 psi now if you were cave diver you would use 1/3 of your air in 1/3 out and have 1/3 safty margin now i understand you are only diving shallow water at 15 feet so you could go up with less but you should never run out of air underwater and if you dive with the j i would carry a spare air or pony bottle for safety ps if you are diving alone carry a pony or spare air goodluck hh im not trying to embarrass you just trying to make your dive safer

Excal, my first comment and second were not meant to be together as one thought. What I meant in the first was that we (DIR divers) would only use a SPG clipped off to a D-ring (with a gate clip and tied to the gauge with cave line of course) in contrast to a large multi-gauge console floating away from our bodies.

The J valve I meant only for shallow (<20') salvage work, not for an overhead environment where you might bump it into the wrong position. I can tell when my air is about gone and if necessary I could ditch my reg and weight belt and ascend quickly. The only thing good about the J valve is you can have some spare air and can feel safer not using a gauge. They worked for years. I would NEVER do this in deeper water,a nd yes I do believe in the rule of thirds. Thanks for your post.
