George, I don't dive cave, but penetrate wrecks. I don't own either 5-ft or 40-in hose, and use the same config on every dive. The viz where I dive now is shite, so I use the light on every dive because we need it to see and to signal. I was just suggesting a possible solution if the guy is going to use the 5-ft hose and no light as asked. -Phi -----Original Message----- From: Trey [mailto:trey@ne*.co*] Sent: Friday, April 21, 2000 5:19 PM To: Phi Le Cc: pina; techdiver Subject: Re: Long hose with single tank Phi, we only use the lights if deep ( for signalling ), and we always use the 7 foot hose . The O/W rig has a 40 inch hose. OW means OW. If your knife is in the correct spot, on the belt, the long hose goes under the knife, not in the belt, when there is no canister light. DIR is DIR, and I made the tape, remember? Perversions are not DIR, they are "Personal Preference" - see IANTD for the complete bible of PP .
