Subject: Re: Independent doubles and the long hose
Of course it does - that was my point.

Another of my points is that when you dive independants, you complicate the
long hose thing. How do you determine which tank gets the short hose? You
"simplified" it by using two shorts. Great. So how do you share air? Two
long hoses? One possible solution. So what if you're on a dive and you lose
all the air out of one tank, and wonder of wonders, a buddy has the same
thing happen to his entire supply? Buddy breathe?

Do you solo dive with your independants? Then a long hose becomes a moot
point. But I suspect that you don't and that it's not.

Please explain your situation.
