Scubaroo mentioned in an older the post about
using a 22'' v 24'' octo hose "
Using the ATX200 on doubles, I prefer the 24" hose, because with the way I have the hoses routed, the hose is vertical on a downward facing port, and has to make a right angled curve to come over my left shoulder, and so has further to travel. On my original singles rig, I used a DST first stage, which allowed the backup hose to be horizontal on a port already facing the direction of my shoulder, so 22" worked fine for that.
I find that the 24" hose on either configuration lets me turn my head further left without restriction though ".
So what I basically understand is that if you
are diving doubles, use the 24'' hose and if
you are single tank diving use a 22'' hose?? Is that right?
