Hookah Surface Supply Compressors
Oil-free breathing air through a 17 m hose, with no cylinders to carry.
A Nardi hookah is a portable oil-free compressor that feeds breathing air from the surface through a 17 m hose with a second stage regulator. It suits maintenance, inspection and light work in shallow water, from a dock, a boat or the shore.
The range comes in three models. The compact Esprit runs on mains or battery power, the higher output Extreme adds a gasoline version, and the Hookah PRO runs on mains power for continuous duty. Every unit is built to order in Italy.

Before you use a hookah. Operate a hookah only with proper training. Do not rely on the hookah as your only source of air, and always have a backup air source. Follow Nardi's limits on the number of users and the maximum depth for your model. Use only the second stage regulator supplied with the hookah, never a third party regulator.
Three Power Sources
The Extreme comes in all three versions, the Esprit in mains and battery, and the Hookah PRO in mains. The Esprit and Extreme share the same 17 m hose, regulator and accessories.
Mains electric
For a dock or shoreline with a standard receptacle. The Extreme 3T models may require a dedicated 20 A, 120V circuit, and the Hookah PRO a dedicated circuit.
Battery
Runs from a boat or vehicle battery where there is no mains supply.
Gasoline
Independent of any power supply for remote sites. The gasoline models take their own filter cartridge.
Accessories and Spares
Each Esprit and Extreme hookah ships with one 17 m hose and regulator. A second user needs the T-coupling and an additional hose with regulator, both sold separately. Replace the filter cartridge on the schedule in your operator's manual, and see the Nardi Hookah Replacement Filter Cartridge for the right one.
