What's in the Box: Unboxing a WOLACH System
The full standard gear package, photographed as it comes off the pallet — and the two things people always ask about before the first dive.
One carton, one gear package
Every WOLACH system ships as a single carton containing the machine and the standard gear package. Nothing in the package is an optional extra, and nothing in it is a consumable you have to buy before your first dive — the machine arrives charged and ready to descend. This is the same package our service team unpacks in the unboxing footage below.
The standard gear package
- Surface-supplied diving machine (12 V, oil-free)
- Air intake pipe with the filter housing
- Air hose — 12 m on the S6, 15 m on the S7, longer on the S9 and S77
- Inflatable airbag / float
- Charger with the plug for your country
- 2 × washable carbon-rod filters and cotton filter elements
- Adjustable harness (vest)
- Maintenance tools
- Second-stage regulator
- Owner's manual
First five minutes
Unfold the handles, set the unit down where it will not tip, and fit the air intake pipe before anything else — it is much easier to seat while the machine is still clean. Screw the filter housing on hand-tight with the supplied tool; overtightening is the most common cause of a cracked housing, and a cracked housing is not a warranty claim.
What people ask before the first dive
Two questions come up every time. First: does the battery need charging before the first dive? No — it ships at roughly 60% charge, which is the storage level we recommend, and it is enough for a first outing. Second: is the hose already connected? It is not, and it should not be — uncoil it fully on the surface and connect it last, so you can see the whole run before you clip the regulator on.

How Deep Can You Go With a Hookah Diving System?

Four models, one air path. Pick by how deep and how long you actually dive — the differences that matter are runtime, delivery and hose length, not features.
