Sry, I'll write at a third grade level next time. :D :D :D

I don't know: I've learned some things. Few hoses are branded very well, and it's good to know how they're supposed to be made. Especial thanks to @Tanks A Lot for a lucid, down to earth discussion in good faith. No condescension. No ego driven berating. Good stuff. Typical internet. It's not...

I am now.

I'm new to this sport. I only started in 1969 using a healthways regulator. I've been an instructor since just after the turn of the century. I've worked in shops, rebuilt more regulators than I could care to count, and have replaced more than my share of hoses. I'm sure that pales in comparison...

It's the split-fin effect. Posters claim expertise sans figures and studies. If you don't agree with them, you will surely die. Meh.

No figures to back up your assertions so far. None. Nada. Squat. It's not rocket science: it's a hose. You even assumed it was made in Asia because it failed. All hoses will fail.

{Edited by Mod} I'm still waiting for some figures and studies to back up your contentions.

Big words that are not backed up by numbers. What studies are you relying on to make such assertions? It seems that you see your perceptions as "truth", and then demean all other opinions as somehow being "less". Still, you haven't produced a single statistic to back your opinions up. How many...

You were wrong the first time you posted this. Sure, you want to sound superior, but the only one you're fooling is yourself. Fit and comfort are all about the diver's perception. It's the most important aspect in chosing my diving gear. Miflex had a 1% failure rate and they did a massive...

Almost all instructors overweight their students. I doubt you're any different. People who find that they are "suddenly" underweighted are usually undergoing some sort of panic episode.

Many contemporary hoses have a very small tube in the center, with a thick jacket. Many hoses have a perforated outer jacket to avoid aneurisms that can be painful when they burst. As a point of reference, the thinner hoses often use the same inner tube, with a much thinner woven outer core...

Thanks Jim! You can't always be there, but you can always give.

You're fine. Here's the thing. WE don't need to add anyone: it's up to you, and this is draining our time and fun. Once you have the prerequisite number of posts (25) locate your name in the upper right of the the page... Left click on your name and this drop down box will appear, only with...

It should be reappearing soon.

De nada!

I pulled up to an Aldi, couldn't find a quarter, so I went to Publix instead. I don't know why I don't have a quarter. I don't use cash, so maybe I should go buy something.

I was kinda mentored. I am a big fan of a combination of e-learning AND mentoring.

Where do you keep your quarter???

Line cutter. Too many shears rust out at the bolt.
