Hi,

I am a displaced cave diver that currently lives in California but does
try to migrate back to florida at least once a year. I have been reading
some articles about always breathing the long hose. Currently I breath
the short hose which comes from my left tank, and I have the long hose
bunged to my right tank with the regulator held close to my neck with
surgical tubing. I feel this is a good configuration because if I roll
off my left valve and then my buddy needs air from the long hose there
could be added complication. However if I breath the short hose I will
quickly know if I roll off a valve. I don't see any negatives to this
approach. Also, I have read that having a stage bottle on the right can
hinder the deployment of the long hose. Considering the long hose is
coming from over my right shoulder I don't see the problem.

Can anyone help?

Thank you,

John
