Alec Pierce Scuba - Long Hose Good or Bad

[Graeme Fraser]

I wonder too if it is a DM skill?

Not a DM skill as such, but part of the kit exchange / stress test, depending on the instructor's criteria. I had three DM scholars a few years ago who wanted to do a stress test with all three of them. Hilarious to watch, but fair play they did it, including three way buddy breathing!

A new video by Alec on the long hose.

Love Alec.Love his videos. Is somebody going to take them wrong or disagree with him? Of course! This is the internet. Just don`t bash him because you disagree. He`s been in the business longer than most of you have been alive.

I disagree with him but I'm allowed to do that.

I disagree with him but I'm allowed to do that.

Especially when he gets so many things wrong.

Especially when he gets so many things wrong.

Don’t we all ?
Maybe you don’t, but I definitely wish I was decent at getting things right

We all do but I think him starting out saying a long hose is only good in certain limited situations is flat out wrong if that is his opinion fine say in my opinion but to tell new divers that as a statement of fact when you are someone they look up to is just wrong.

I really have and want to continue to like the guy, but....

perpetuating urban legends, half truths, and personal opinions from a position of "authority".....

"I'm not an expert but I'm going to tell you all about this thing I don't know about."

Ok, boomer.

Everyone knows that on the Internet every statement is to be implicitly prefaced by "In my opinion,..." It doesn't need to be said explicitly in every sentence. That is, in my opinion.
