Air Line Model R260-4 Hookah Dive System

The Original Direct-Drive Pioneer – Trusted Since 1999.

The Air Line Model R260-4 is the patriarch of the Air Line family, setting the standard for completely U.S.-made hookah compressors. Powered by a high-performance 4.0 HP Honda OHV engine, this system is engineered for the serious dive market. Unlike competitors using imported components, the R260-4 features the legendary Thomas/Air Line wobble piston compressor, providing unmatched integrity and reliability for multi-diver exploration.

Marine-Friendly Engineering

• Honda Reliability: Re-powered with a lighter, smaller Honda engine featuring all-plastic gas tanks, caps, and intake housings to prevent corrosion in salty environments.
• Multi-Diver Capacity: Efficiently supports two divers to a depth of 70 feet or three divers to 40 feet simultaneously.
• Exceptional Fuel Efficiency: Provides over 3 hours of dive time on just 2.5 quarts of gasoline—no oil mixing required.
• Pure Breathing Air: Rated Grade-E by the Compressed Gas Association of America, ensuring the highest safety standards for underwater breathing.
• Superior Stability: The included inflated float is stable in up to three-foot seas, or it can be easily deck-mounted on its custom pan.
