I am doing research on the use of hookah diving in open water aquaculture. A lot of the information on this topic is gray literature. If you have access to any kind of publication on the topic I would be very grateful if you could provide it to me here or by e-mail.
I would also be interested in openly discussing the topic here. Any thoughts? My current standing is that, if done right, hookah diving compliments near-shore aquaculture well and can be used for effective husbandry activities.
Hello Reece; when I started my postdoc on eels already around 15 years ago there was a tremendous amount of "grey literature" (I mean not official international peer reviewed literature). A lot of speculation and reading but it can give you some topics and inspiration to concentrate on and develop smart-innovative experiments which ultimately are valuable for the international scientific community. So you can publish and finish your PhD=> grey literature is thus valuable. I don't know much about this topic I'm sorry but good luck and success.

Hi Vincent, thanks for the tips. I'm familiar with Blue-Green Technologies as my PhD research is IMTA, and a part of that is seaweed cultivation here in Hong Kong.
Great Reece, I´m presently working on three nearly finished draft/publications which I hope to submit coming Friday. Science is sweat, blood and tears but as a paradox also satisfying. My E/mail is [email protected]. Has Hong-Kong seaweed projects to cooperate. Thanks for your interest in our foundation. All the best Vincent,
Attached a very recent (bio)medical publications: healthy food (seaweeds, IMTA) will lead to a healthy population!!

The pearling industry in Western Australia use hookah a lot and have considerable decades long experience with dive tables and so on. I suggest you contact the Pearl Producers Association

Thanks very much for the contact information, John. I'll definitely send them an e-mail.
There are a great many options with surface supplied diving. Typically hookah is for shallower water whereas more commercial systems can be used deeper. Each system should have clear specifications as to capabilities and required maintenance.
One of the main considerations are the conditions the diver is exposed to; will they get to cold? Surface supply may give you virtually unlimited air supply but dive time and depth limits still apply to the diver.
Hookah can be convenient and versatile. One is shedding the weight of the tanks but adding a tether that can get tangled.
Dear All,
Thanks for your input previously. You can now view our recent white paper, presented at the American Academy of Underwater Sciences symposium in September, on hookah diving for aquaculture:
