It'll stow perfectly when (if) you get a canister light on your right hip. I don't think a 5 foot hose is long enough - especially in our bulky dry suits though I must admit I haven't tried one. >What about the backup reg - I've been told the ScubaPro Mk20/R380 is >fine. From what I've heard there may be a problem with freezeup of SP (though I have a G250/Mk20 myself and never experienced a problem) and would thus recommend an Apeks (have 4). >Should I replace my tank valve and use two first stages?

A Y-valve would be a good place to start until you get a twin set. >Can anyone recommend a good nitrox instructor on the South Coast of >England?
