You have the wrong hose material. Tuck it in your belt to get on the boat if that is an issue. Miranda, you know me, yoo know I am not bullshit. If there is something that appears wrong out of me, it will 99% of the time be in the details, like the hose mateial. Also, don't get into the habit of using bullshit like 5 foot hoses to accomodate one diving situation and then be fucked when youj have another. Use the all around most optimal gear. Changing gear for different dives is dumb and dangerous. You saw me dive - with my cave gear - in open water. Why do otherwise than use the best possible rig all of the time and be used to it so that when there is a problem, it is second nature to solve, and so that you do not go off forgetting to have switched all your stroke shit to the real thing for real dives. To dive out there with you , I needed one more thing - gloves. Nothing else changed, and I kept more gas in the suit due to the freezing ass water. Do it the same all of the time. Hopefully I'll see you guys this summer some time. Miranda Alldritt wrote: > > George, > What do you do to prevent the 7 ft hose from being a cluster at the > surface without the light?
