You can make a 2 man diving set up with a bellow. One guy up top working the bellow to pump air down to the diver. When I saw it done they had 2 guys up top working bellows and one guy down 20ft.

that sounds like what I made several years ago. it work with 20 feet of one inch soft plastic hose and used two ping pong balls for valves ,one for intake one for exaust. Someone borrowed it one night from my truck and I never made another one. One problem was not the lenght of the hose but the depth of water would collapes the hose. but it really worked well. ....wallyMi

Actually can be done with a 12 speed bike derailor attached to a t-80 but not sure of depth and you need a bicycling fool for a partner-John

Ya John,
I envisioned something akin to what you'd see on Gilligan's Island, except not made out of bamboo!
