Subject: Re: Long hose routing - when NOT wearing a torch ?
Kevin,

        For those kinds of situations I wear cutting tool/knife on the right
side of my waist belt and use that to tuck the hose under, just like with a
cannister.

   # 1 would work.

   #2 would be a nightmare if you needed to deploy the hose.

Just a thought,

Bob D.

<<What's the best way to stow the long hose when you don't have a torch
canister light to loop it under ?  For whatever reason - my current
reason is I don't have a canister torch yet, and I can live without it
for a while, open-water diving.

Two possibilities come to mind :

1) just push a loop of the hose through your harness waist-belt where
the torch should be.

2) tie a piston clip on to the hose, add a D-ring to the waist-belt on
the right hip, and clip the hose on to it.

I'm leaning towards 1) as it's less convoluted and probably quicker to
deploy, but option 2) is more secure - once attached it'll stay attached
until you decide otherwise, but would be slower to deploy (from 5' to
7', but not much slower than option 1).>>
