#1 is definitely the better of these two choices. I'm wondering about a third choice, however... using a 5 foot hose instead of a 7 foot hose, which can then be wrapped cleanly without reaching down to the waist strap or requiring anything to secure it. This is what I'm doing on a Hogarthian singles rig that I'm playing around with, and so far I like it. It's important to note that my application does not involve any sort of restrictions where the extra 2 feet of length would be important. I would really appreciate hearing from George or someone who has done this more than me, and on more intense dives. I think what I'm doing is right for very simple diving, but don't know how far it can safely be extended to the serious stuff. - Todd > From: Kevin Allen <kevina@mi*.co*> > To: techdiver@aquanaut.com > Subject: Long hose routing - when NOT wearing a torch ? > Date: Thu, 27 Mar 1997 06:24:54 -0800 > > What's the best way to stow the long hose when you don't have a torch > canister light to loop it under ?
