had been trained to breathe the short hose and stow the long. after viewing "doing it right " i spent last weekend experimenting with a number of the ideas shown. first i have to say that breathing the long without a doubt makes deploying and undeploying (huh?) an emergency air supply much easier. the only problem i ran into was that the long hose kept catching on the right hand valve knob-i think this may have been because i'm currently using one of the plastic-coated yellow long hoses and it may be too rigid compared to a rubber hose-any comments please? up to now i've been butt mounting my battery pack but tried the idea of mounting it on the harness strap waist strap-it worked but i really wasn't comfortable with the way it could move around-obviously it can't come adrift, i'd just feel better if it could move less. i've seen references to securing the battery pack to holes drilled top right and bottom right in the back plate-any comments from anyone who's tried this as to if it works or notwill be appreciated. lastly the only line cutter i've used is the dive rite zknife-ie parachute line cutter. i,ve only had to use it once to cut away monofilament on an ocean dive-it worked ok but the blades rust to uselessness in no time flat.anyone have any sources for effective line cutters that are a little more rugged without being too bulky? thanks for any input tony phillips
