Single tank means no caves or penetration.  This being said it's agreed that
a 7 footer is way too long for the job.  The 7 foot hose is so that your
buddy can breath while following on your fins.  In the open ocean you'll be
side by side and a 5 footer is recommended.

With no canister and a 5 foot hose just route it from the post, under the
right arm pit up and around the neck and into your mouth.  I dive this way
and it's very comfortable.

Hope this helps,
Art.

		How should one route a 7ft hose to breath as a primary using
a single alum
		80 recreational setup with no canister light?  I have a
standard length USD
		octopus on a necklace, a USD SEA4 first stage, and a Zeagle
Concept BC
		(integrated weights).  I do no-decom dives in New England
with a wetsuit.  I
		want to go with a long hose after an incident as a donor
last season (short
		hose caused much difficulty managing the low on air
situation on the anchor
		line during a "safety" stop).  Thanks.
