So,... Last weekend I was practicing deploying & stowing the 7' hoses on my bailout bottles, for my upcoming CCR Cave class. Big difference from the 40" hoses I am used to on my stage bottles. Needless to say, I got rather humbled. The Hoses seemed to have a mind of their own & getting the second stage to go where I wanted it (tucked within easy reach, but nestled between my body & the cylinder) was a major chore. After the first go round, the hoses were flexing outward & the regs were on the outside.... Not exactly what I wanted. My cylinders are clipped in the rear to a butterfly style d-ring up high on my crotch strap (short arms) & held in place up top by a loop of bungee around the valve. I basically tried to restow the hose about like I do with stage bottles (unclip the rear, swing around to access the hose retainer straps (DR) & start stuffing). After several frustrating minutes, I got it put away, but not correctly & not very prettily. In fact my buddy was quite entertained by my cussing going on. I realize,... anything new takes a little practice to get proficient at,... but this was most aggravating. Looking for ideas on how to stow & restow the hose. Accordion style? Loop within a loop? Would Myflex be easier to handle than a standard hose? Just looking for ideas. I've got a couple days I can practice in the pool before leaving. Thanks, all!
