    Hose extension for mini pony bottle Spg gauge

    I have a small spg gauge and I'm looking to get it on a hose so I can see it up front as a backup. Do they make a hose extension that goes from the reg to the same thread as the mini spg gauge? Hopefully they make a right angle adapter fitting as well.

    Shore diving with full face mask?

    Does shore diving with a ffm make sense? I usually have my mask around my neck while swimming out. Would all the water that got in the mask hinder the performance. IE face itching cuz air is rushing over your wet skin or droplets on the inside of the lens?
