Yeah, the 5ft is supposed to go only under the arm, not the canister.

However, if you have a 7ft hose there is no reason why you can't use it on
your single tank dives. Even if you leave the canister at home, you can
still put the hose underneath the knife pocket. Some people tuck it in the
waist belt but I prefer the knife pocket.

Safe diving,

THOMAS

Hello,

For single tanks diving, everybody agree that a 5 ft hose is
preferable (web sites and DIR 2 tape).

However, when I scuba dive with doubles my 7 ft long hose
is below the canister then around my neck. For the 5 ft, it seems
to me it's a little short to do that, so how are you supposed
to proceed ?
