My buddy is a machinist and I cajoled him into making a few test pieces:
A first stage holder, a couple of hose protector installers, and a little slotted key for removing tank valve knobs.

I've built everything on the first page of my DIY site. I've also made several more video camera housings that I never posted pictures of. It's free to join if you like and you can see hundreds of pictures and read what others have done with there DIY projects.
So this was what my 20 year old mind could come up with in the "McGyver department" Yes it was 25 years ago; but still, it gets points for originality.
We wanted to smoke pot underwater.
I used an U/W camera case with a second stage attached to the front.
The lp hose went to the 1st stage on the tank.
A mouthpiece was attached to a hole in the the back of the housing.
This was kept plugged until ready for use.
A hole was cut into the bottom of the case and a neoprene glove finger (waterproof, right?) was inserted and glued into the housing.
Your smoke of choice was inserted into a roach clip, (roach clip; remember college?)and a bic lighter, that were glued strategically next to the glove finger.
Once underwater, you put your finger in the glove, flicked the bic, and pushed the button on the second stage, and inhaled.
Woo Hoo!
(Beers with twist off caps were actually much easier.)
Remember kids, don't try this at home!!!
I haven't thought of this for years! Sorta like a flashback!
(Flashback = buy one; get one free!)
I think we were the Dive Pirates of our day.

Tigerbeach-
I must say that's one of the most innovative DIY's I've ever heard of. You might have some trouble with marketability of the product, though. I just don't see the agencies offering a "Deep Doobie" specialty certification.

Do you think ScubaPro would like to manufacture it?
Maybe I could sketch something...
Just get your patent locked in before you send them the sketch.

Gee, you think I might get to meet Tommy Chong?
OMG, now that is too funny!
Goes to show you that pot heads really do think. Problem is they think too much. LMAO!
Thats about as crazy as putting vodka in those Apollo regs with the moisture thing on the 1st stage.:cool: Not that many sesible divers would do that anyway:o

How much vodka could you fit in there? I don't think enough to make you feel it.
Humm.....I wonder if there is a law against drunk diving......YET?
