I would like to point out a couple of other advantages to a long hose.

- The long hose allows you to route the hose so that it does not stick 
out to the side of your head. The hose will not snag on the wreck or 
debri and will be more streamlined.

- The long hose allows you to have complete freedom of left/right 
movement of your head. With a short hose it is either pulling or pushing 
the reg in your mouth. Less jaw fatigue, better scan rate.

If you are into serious pillaging, fishing or lobstering, I guarantee 
that you will immediately notice the difference.
