J, Now listen,
If you route the long hose as illustrated in "Doing it Right". That is
straight down from the 1st stage, between the wings and the backplate,
under your light canister (if you are wearing one) or tucked into your
waist strap if not, and then across your chest, the chances of getting it
caught are almost non-existent.
BUT! is as your gear configuration is sloppy, and you are not "doing it
right", you are in deep shit anyway.
The Hogarthian configuration does NOT have the hose run along side the
tanks. As I said it runs the hose straight down from the right post
regulator between the wings and plate.
If everyone on this list would stop pouring out the alligator mouth crap,
take the cotton out of their ears, and THINK, we would not be rehashing
this stuff over and over again.
If you take the time to view the "Doing it Right" tape, you would see that
the Hogarthian gear configuration is clean, streamlined, functional,
organized and above all simple. Nothing out of place, no hoses dangling of
bowed out to catch on caves, wrecks, or other dangerous protrusions.

Mike, I would like to suggest that you take your own advice in this
case.........................
"If everyone on this list would stop pouring out the alligator mouth crap,

stuff over and over again."
If you would read my previous post more carefully you would notice that I
am not giving Mark advice on how to use a long hose nor am I involved in the
discusion regarding to manifold or to use independents. George has addressed
these issues in great detail and I see no reason to add any further comments
in this area........ I am merely making the valid observation that for
extremely tight work that the use of indepenent sidemounts has many
advantages. Since we have never dove together, I don't recall ever seeing
you in a sump .., and you have never seen my gear configuration I am also
truely impressed by the fact that you are able to determine the state of my
gear configuration.....
"BUT! is as your gear configuration is sloppy, and you are not "doing it
right", you are in deep shit anyway."
Do you get the hint...........................................
