Questions & Answers

Jason H : How loud (decibels) Is the unit when running to support four persons? Thank youMario C : Thank you for your question Jason. All gas engines from airline are on the 90db rating level while running. this unit comes setup for 2 divers and could have a third line setup. If you are looking to have 4 diver under water, check their XL model below ( will also need an add diver kit for the 4rth diver)
Shopper : What is the stability of the unit flotation device in choppy water?Douglas s : I've had mine out in 2 to 3 foot chop. It does very well and have no problems with how it preforms. But there needs to be some discretion on your part about what is too ruff. Overall I am very happy with the unit and would recommend it to anyone.
WILLIAM P : I also need to have a 3rd hose to blow up an inflation bag to lift a weight.  What attachments would I need to add?Mario C : if you do not want to use your secons stage to fill the bag, you will need the 3rd hose mentioned and the adapter below for the hose and a tip for it both items linked
freddie P : can 2 divers use 1 hookah at the same time?LARRY C : According to Air Line's website, this unit can support 2 divers down to a depth of 70' (3 divers to 33'). I personally have not tried this, because I work alone. The use of volume (accumulator) tank(s) could make breathing easier with multiple divers, depending on your particular use.
Chuck R : Is this a 4 cycle unit?LARRY C : Yes, the Air Line R260-4 is powered by a Honda GX120 4 stroke OHV (overhead valve) engineWILLIAM L : Yes it sure is! Comes with a Honda four cycle engine that starts first time every time! Even after a long sits!

A whole lot better than the ones made 50 years ago.

Great machine and starts on the first pull. Always plenty of air. It would be nice if it came with 40? hoses; because 60? is a lot to drag around. Excellent machine. Thanks

Great product but too heavy for me.

I purchased the Air Line Model R260-4 Hookah. It was delivered promptly yet, unfortunately, I didn’t do my, “homework” before purchasing the item and I discovered that it was way to heavy for me to carry it down to the beach. Because of that, I had to return it for a refund. The customer service people I contacted regarding the return were quite friendly and very accommodating. I recommend this company.

excellent dive equipment

This hookah system far exceded my expectations. It runs quieter than I thought it would, started each time first pull. And was easy to set up (once u get the hang of it, its not a bc and tank u know). Over all if u spend lots of time underwater, and u dont want to keep switching ur tanks, get this hookah.

Very Nice Hookah System

By DSDiver

There was glitch in the order, however Leisure Pro handled the situation in a professional manner and everything eventually worked out. Great customer service, I would definitely order from Leisure Pro again.

Model R260-4: Small size; large performance.

The ORIGINAL direct-drive system (introduced on May 1st, 1999), the patriarch of the Air Line family of completely U.S. made hookah compressors made solely for The Air Line's customers by the largest compressor manufacturer in the world. You can be lured with copies of the innovator, but don't get fooled. It is unmatched in performance, features and low maintenance. Powered by the dependable 4.0 HP Honda engine, service on engine and compressor is available at thousands of locations.

Breathing is smooth and easy with Air Lines adjustable hookah-specific second-stage regulators. Regulators have diver adjustment knobs to fine tune the breathing resistance, and a fully rotational 360° swivel to eliminate any regulator pulling like with a standard Scuba system.

Breathing is made comfortable with the 5' (1.5m) US Navy heat hose which will cool the compressed air delivered to the two 60' (18.3m) fully swiveled dive hoses. Included are tow belts to tether the umbilical hoses to your body and two weight belts to maintain proper buoyancy. Maintenance is a breeze with the washable, stainless steel particle filter. Both the compressor and the gas engine come with an owner's manual for proper use and periodic maintenance.

The best part is it floats on the surface directly above you when you dive. A strong long life agricultural-grade inner tube, covered by a 1,000 Denier U/V stabilized Cordura float cover, keeps the compressor high and dry. With a diver down flag and an air intake staff and filter add only your personal gear, a little gas, oil a body of water (not included), and the fun and friends will be forthcoming. Maybe more friends than you knew you had. Also included are hose splitter, 4-washable, stainless-steel particle filters, mesh gear bag for storage of hoses, deflated float tube, air intake staff, etc. and inflator hose to inflate float tube. For a third diver, order the optional Add A Diver package (see SKU: ALHAAD). The unit comes with a traditional red and white diver down flag. Compressor air rating meets Grade-E Compressed Gas Association of America.
