Wings NOTE- the Vertex diffusers have an internal air handling/distribution check valve that causes an additional psi requirement of maybe 2psi. This may put added PSI stress on the Hiblow compressor. You may want to use a different brand of diffuser. with zero back or head pressure. I would check with a really good Vertex technician as to the added PSI requirement of Vertex diffusers. Not all Vertex sales people may know this fact because Vertex is normally sold with high pressure compressors and the added PSI is negligent or not important for them. I would start your info search with 'esshup' a Vertex representative in the post above. Also on the Hiblow air flow charts notice how much air flow(cfm) will occur at the depth you will be placing the diffuser. CFM is reduced with each foot of water depth.
